Submit a ProposalPetroleum Accumulation Zones on Continental Margins
 | By Y.N. Grigorenko, G.V. Chilingar, V.S. Sobolev, T.A. Andiyeva, and L.I. Zhukova Copyright: 2012 | Expected Pub Date:September 2012// ISBN: 9781118385074 | Hardcover | 442 pages Price: $195 USD  |
One Line Description
Some of the best-known petroleum engineers in the world have come together to produce one of the first comprehensive publications on detailed forecasts of offshore petroleum potential. A must-have for any petroleum engineer or engineering student, this volume is the only one of its kind, offering detailed and practical applications for solving some of the difficult problems facing the engineer working in the upstream oil and gas industry.
Audience
Petroleum Engineers, Petroleum Geologists, Environmental Engineers, Geologists, Petrophysicists, Geophysicists and Engineering Students, petroleum, drilling, and reservoir engineers, production engineers and geologists
Petroleum Engineers, Petroleum Geologists, Environmental Engineers, Geologists, Petrophysicists, Geophysicists and Engineering Students, petroleum, drilling, and reservoir engineers, production engineers and geologists
Description
There is a tremendous amount of undeveloped hydrocarbon resources located in the Russian continental shelf, which is under intense scrutiny by the oil and gas industry. Not just American companies, but Chinese, Russian, and European countries are all eying this area with a view toward developing these tremendous untapped reserves. These areas remain untapped, primarily because it is essentially unreachable through conventional methods of recovery.
The primary aim of this book is to introduce new, unconventional methods for exploration and development of areas like the Russian continental shelf, showing, through practical applications, how these areas can, in fact, be developed. Not limiting themselves to the Russian continental shelf, the authors use these particular areas as a proving ground for their methods, which could be used in any similar situation in the world.
With reserves in the Middle East and North Sea being decimated at a much faster rate than was originally forecast, and with drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and other areas somewhat at question, developing new reserves of oil and gas is one of, if not the biggest, issue facing the energy industry, indeed our whole world, today. This will be the new challenge for both veteran engineers and students, alike, as they go forward in this new era of world energy production.
