For sixteen years, students and professionals worldwide have turned to "Petroleum Production Systems" for clear and reliable information about petroleum production engineering. In fact, with massive industry growth in recent years, sales of this classic book have spiked upwards. Now, there's a new Second Edition: extensively revised to reflect the field's latest innovations, with hundreds of new drawings and an entirely new set of examples and problems utilizing Microsoft Excel and PPS software packages. Authored by four of the field's most respected experts, this up-to-the-minute book thoroughly introduces the modern principles petroleum production systems development and operation, considering the combined behavior of reservoirs, surface equipment, pipeline systems, and storage facilities. Readers also learn how to optimize these systems for diverse production schedules using queuing theory, linear programming, and dynamic programming. This edition's many updates include: * Extensive new coverage of hydraulic fracturing, including high permeability fracturing * New sand and water management techniques * An all-new chapter on Production Analysis * New coverage of digital reservoirs and self-learning techniques in an all-new chapter on the "Emerging Oilfield" * New skin correlations and HW flow techniques * Updated coverage of environmental issues, and more
