Modern look at the thermodynamics of hydrocarbon reservoirs

This brilliant, original work offers novel formulations of thermodynamic principles for hydrocarbon reservoirs. The book is packed with valuable step-by-step derivations for retrograde phenomena in capillaries, diffusion and convection, stability and criticality in mixtures, precipitation from complex mixtures, and numerous examples that show in detail how to calculate and apply concepts using the most contemporary techniques.

The book is not only a valuable reference for petroleum and chemical engineers, but can be...

This state-of-the-art guide presents a systematic methodology for applying thermodynamics principles in the many areas of the hydrocarbon energy industry

Thermodynamics and Applications in Hydrocarbon Energy Production lays out a unified view of classical thermodynamics and teaches how to effectively put those theories to work in fuel exploration, preparation, and refinement.

Shale gas and oil development is a relatively new subject in petroleum engineering and is the main focus of the U.S. energy industry--this book addresses these important issues. The use of...
