By Erle C. Donaldson, Djebbar Tiab Professor
The petroleum geologist and engineer should have a operating wisdom of petrophysics with a view to locate oil reservoirs, devise the easiest plan for purchasing it out of the floor, then begin drilling. This publication deals the engineer and geologist a handbook to complete those objectives, supplying much-needed calculations and formulation on fluid move, rock homes, and plenty of different issues which are encountered each day. New up-to-date fabric covers subject matters that experience emerged within the petrochemical due to the fact 1997.
* includes info and calculations that the engineer or geologist needs to use in day-by-day actions to discover oil and devise a plan to get it out of the ground
* jam-packed with difficulties and strategies, excellent to be used in undergraduate, graduate, or expert courses
* Covers real-life difficulties and situations for the practising engineer

Physico-Chemistry of Solid-Gas Interfaces
Basic hassle-free evidence and theoretical instruments for the translation and version improvement of solid-gas interactions are first provided during this paintings. Chemical, actual and electrochemical features are offered from a phenomenological, thermodynamic and kinetic standpoint. The theoretical points of electric houses at the floor of a superb also are lined to supply better accessibility for people with a physico-chemical historical past.
Problems for Physics Students: With Hints and Answers
This booklet is a suite of a few four hundred physics difficulties, with tricks on their suggestions, and solutions. The physics coated encompasses all components reviews via final-year (advanced point) scholars in faculties and excessive faculties. the writer has focused on providing fascinating (and to some degree strange) difficulties which might be solved utilizing the actual rules often taught in complex institution classes.

Example text
Chapter 6 is in many ways an extension of the capillary phenomena to the measurement and determination of the influence of wettability on oil recovery, pore size distribution, and relative permeability. Methods for determining the wettability index are also included in this chapter. The flow of fluids (oil and gas) through porous rocks is presented in Chapter 7. The analysis of linear, laminar flow is followed by a discussion of radial and turbulent flow. Equations for calculating the average permeability of naturally fractured rocks and stratified formations are derived in this chapter.

Sphericity is a measure of how closely a particle approximates the shape of a sphere. It is a measure of how nearly equal are the three mutually perpendicular diameters of the particle, and is expressed as the ratio of the surface area of the particle to the surface area of a sphere of equal volume 117, 181. Roundness is a measure of the curvature, or sharpness, of the particle.
