Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

High temperature high oil pressure oil and gas well completion testing have always been a technical challenge and basic theoretical research is one of the key factors needed to ensure a successful completion test. The completion test basic theory includes: a stress analysis of the completion string completion string buckling behavior and temperature and pressure distribution prediction. The completion string is the main bearing and power transmission component for oil and gas well operations and production and it is required to take on a combination of loads which result in completion string deformation. Because of these complex relationships completion string stress analysis has become increasingly more complicated. This book discusses the characters of tubular strings in HTHP (High Temperature - High Pressure) oil and gas wells. These characters include the mechanical behavior of tubular strings and the temperature and pressure variation of tubular strings in different conditions. Mathematical models are established for different conditions and solution existence and uniqueness of some models is discussed providing algorithms corresponding to the different models. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the validity of models and the feasibility of algorithms and the impact of the parameters of models for oil and gas wells is also discussed. This book is written for production and testing engineers to provide them with the tools to deal more effectively with the numerical decisions they have to take and for researchers and technicians in petroleum and gas testing and production engineering. Finally it is also intended to serve as a reference book for mathematicians college teachers and students. | Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

Demons of Domesticity offers a social history of the English gas industry from the 1880s to the late 1930s with an emphasis on the corporations that served London and the Home Counties. It documents the hitherto unexamined role that women played in the development of the industry by considering two major interlocking themes: the expansion of sales occupations for women in the English gas industry and the parallel growth and diversification of the industry's marketing strategies. During the late-nineteenth century the home became the focal point for a number of debates concerning female employment and gender roles. As an increasing number of labour saving domestic devices came onto the market women found themselves targeted by manufacturing companies and utility suppliers both as consumers and advocates. Foremost among these companies were representatives of the gas industry who actively addressed domestic issues. As the promoters purveyors and consumers of domestic technology Demons of Domesticity suggests that English female employees and consumers were not the hapless dupes of corporate marketing but instead had clear ideas about how domestic technology could and should be used to reconfigure the public and private spaces of work and home. | Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

This new volume Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines: A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals focuses on design and installation of laboratory gas pipelines. It instructs design engineers laboratory managers and installation technicians on how to source the information and specifications they require for the design and installation of laboratory gas systems suitable for their intended use. The current use of specifications predominantly taken from medical gas standards for this type of work is not always suitable; these standards are for use with medical grade gases that have a purity level of 99. 5%. The purity levels required in laboratories however start at 99. 9% for general industrial use through to 99. 9995% (Ultra High Purity (UHP)) and higher. Regular medical gas standards are also unsuitable for use with the oxidizing flammable and in some instances toxic gases that are regularly encountered in laboratories. As need for gas purity increases the methodology used to design a piping system must vary to meet those parameters and this reference provides the necessary information and resources. There are no comprehensive single sources of technical references currently available in this market states the author and the generally supplied specifications provided to the construction industry are usually generic and not specifically targeted for the gases in use. The results provide extremely poor quality designs and in some instances unusable systems. With over 40 years of specialization in the industry from project management to systems design testing and commissioning of projects with values in excess of $15 million the author comprehensively fills that gap with this rich resource. Key features• provides information on types of laboratories that use laboratory gases and the equipment needed• explains the various methods of construction and the materials used to ensure that the purity of the gases remains as supplied from the manufacturers• incorporates the design methodology used to meet the various requirements of the laboratory and the information required to ensure that the correct engineering is provided• presents information on the purity levels of the gases and the data on the equipment used for pipelines and compatibility issues• presents an example of a simple laboratory gas specification that provides guidelines on the information necessary to provide a set of design documents | Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

The oil and gas industry is going through a major technological shift. This is particularly true of the Norwegian continental shelf where new work processes are being implemented based on digital infrastructure and information technology. The term Integrated Operations (IO) has been applied to this set of new processes. It is defined by the Centre for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry as 'work processes and technology to make smarter decisions and better execution enabled by ubiquitous real time data collaborative techniques and access to multiple expertise'. It's claimed that IO is efficient optimises exploration reduces costs and improves safety performance. However the picture is not as clear-cut as it may appear. On the one hand the new work processes do not prevent major accidents: IO-related factors have been identified in recent events such as the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. On the other hand IO technology provides improved decision-making support (such as access to real-time data and expertise) which can reduce human and material losses and damage to the environment. Given these very different properties it's vital that the industry has a detailed understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of IO which this book sets out to do from a multidisciplinary point of view. It analyses Integrated Operations from the angles of statistics management science human factors and resilience engineering. These varied disciplines provide a multifaceted understanding of IO that better informs risk assessment practices as well as explaining new techniques and methods and provides state-of-the-art guidance to risk assessment practitioners working in the oil and gas industry. | Oil and Gas Technology and Humans Assessing the Human Factors of Technological Change

Front End Engineering Design of Oil and Gas Projects: Critical Factors for Project Success Perspectives Case Studies and Lessons

Front End Engineering Design of Oil and Gas Projects: Critical Factors for Project Success Perspectives Case Studies and Lessons

Quite a large number of major oil and gas projects are failures with respect to their costs schedules and operational performance. Owner companies and contractors are struggling with the issues causing these failures. The Front End Engineering Design (FEED) has been identified as an important factor that plays a key role in determining the success of a project. However the FEED and the associated Front End Loading (FEL) do not get the attention they deserve from the players in the business namely the owner companies FEED and EPC contractors. While academic studies on the FEL and its failures are available how the seeds of failures are sown during an actual project FEED remains a mystery. The details are usually buried in the rubbished computers and hundreds of files that are shelved in companies' offices. In this unique book two experienced professionals one from an owner company and the other from an international EPC contractor whose interests often oppose each other join to give their perspectives about the project lifecycle its governance structure gate system complexities contract models and quality measurements. In the second part of the book they present case studies of projects gone wrong due to mismatches errors and inconsistencies in the FEED. These case histories reveal how avoidable gaps and errors creep into FEED resulting in project failures and how the review systems fail to detect them. Technical and business professionals seem to underestimate the importance of FEED in capital-intensive major projects while focusing on short-term goals. The underlying causal factors need to be addressed and resolved in time properly for ensuring success of major oil and gas projects. Written in a concise and practical style with key takeaways at the end of each chapter this book will be a useful guide for practicing project and engineering professionals in the oil and gas industry. Senior students and researchers will find ideas and viewpoints given in this book worth exploring further. | Front End Engineering Design of Oil and Gas Projects: Critical Factors for Project Success Perspectives Case Studies and Lessons

Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Stages and Sequencing in Unconventional Formations

Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Stages and Sequencing in Unconventional Formations

Shale gas and/or oil play identification is subject to many screening processes for characteristics such as porosity permeability and brittleness. Evaluating shale gas and/or oil reservoirs and identifying potential sweet spots (portions of the reservoir rock that have high-quality kerogen content and brittle rock) requires taking into consideration multiple rock reservoir and geological parameters that govern production. The early determination of sweet spots for well site selection and fracturing in shale reservoirs is a challenge for many operators. With this limitation in mind Optimization of Hydraulic Fracture Stages and Sequencing in Unconventional Formations develops an approach to improve the industry’s ability to evaluate shale gas and oil plays and is structured to lead the reader from general shale oil and gas characteristics to detailed sweet-spot classifications. The approach uses a new candidate selection and evaluation algorithm and screening criteria based on key geomechanical petrophysical and geochemical parameters and indices to obtain results consistent with existing shale plays and gain insights on the best development strategies going forward. The work introduces new criteria that accurately guide the development process in unconventional reservoirs in addition to reducing uncertainty and cost.
