Blowout and Well Control Handbook, Second Edition, brings the engineer and rig personnel up to date on all the useful methods, equipment, and project details needed to solve daily well control challenges. Blowouts are the most expensive and one of the most preventable accidents in the oil and gas industry. While some rig crews experience frequent well control incidents, some go years before seeing the real thing. Either way, the crew must always be prepared with quick understanding of the operations and calculations necessary to maintain well control.

Natural Gas: Operations and Transport is the second volume in a series of textbooks following Natural Gas: Exploration and Properties (first volume). This series is continued with Natural Gas: Customers and Consuming Industries (third volume) and Natural Gas: Economics and Environment (fourth volume). The aim of this series is to provide a student with the basic tools required when following the flow of gas from the reservoir to the burner tip.

The first chapter of Natural Gas: Operations and Transport deals with the chemical composition...

Advances in Productive, Safe, and Responsible Coal Mining covers the latest and greatest advancements in coal mining technology and practices. It gives a comprehensive introduction to the latest research and technology development, addressing problems and issues currently being faced, and is a valuable resource of complied technical information on the latest coal mining safety and health research.

Coal's staying power at the forefront of the world's energy mix for more than a century is the result of low-cost price stability. However, that position is under attack from...

Lacustrine Shale Gas: Case Study from the Ordos Basin examines the special sedimentation and formation environment based on the actual exploration of lacustrine shale gas. Using the Chang7 black shale of Yanchang formation in Ordos basin as an example, this book deeply dissects the Lacustrine shale geological characteristics and offers fresh insights into Lacustrine shale geochemistry, shale reservoir, hydrocarbon accumulation and resource evaluation. The book not only enriches, develops and contributes to new theories of shale gas exploration, but also contributes to a new research...

Effective and reliable when used, electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) can be expensive to purchase and maintain so selecting the correct pump and operating them properly are essential for consistent flow from production wells yet there is not a dedicated go-to reference to train personnel and engineers. Electrical Submersible Pumps, Second Edition, continues to deliver the information needed with updated developments, technology, and operational case studies. New content on gas handlers, permanent magnet motors, and new designed stage geometries are all included. Flowing from basic...

Since coal has been and will continue to be an essential resource for energy, it warrants sustainable development and management. Using clean coal technology, a coal-based energy sector is emerging to meet the demand generated by the installation of a large number of coal preparation plants particularly in countries like India. Since coal preparation starts at the mine face, the objective of Sustainable Management of Coal Preparation is to explain the upstream as well as the downstream of coal preparation stressing clean coal technologies for coal utilization. The book not...
