Excelente learning tool for Petroleum Production Systems.......2005-07-22

It is an excellent book to understand in detail the petroleum production systems for a person who has some background in the area. It is also helpful as a reference book.

Waste of money.......2003-04-24

The book is unpractical for the working engineer and the mathematics is simplified calculus which is not understandable to the average practicing engineer, but seems to be in favor of academic types. This is not a book for someone who wants to learn why production equipment works. The chapter on multiphase flow is its only saving grace, but any cheap paper on the subject will say as much. I would recomened the OGCI books on Production Technology. Way cheaper...way better...

Usefull Reference Book for Petroleum Engineers.......2000-07-01

This is a comprehensive and relatively advanced book in petroleum production engineering. It helps to understand important parameters that control the performance of the production system. This book explains complex concepts of engineering very easy. Last, it has been written by experienced professionals world wide well recognized in the oil industry.

Excellent text for a working Process Engineer.......2002-09-23

As a Process Engineer, working in both operations and design in the upstream oil industry, it is pleasing to find a text that finally covers all the unit operations you are likely to encounter in oil processing. The book is an easy read that doesn't get weighed down in first principles. This means that you can quickly get the information you require and have confidence in your decisions. It's a must for anyone working in the industry, especially those who may be offshore, I always have my copy with me.

Surface Process Equipment.......2000-06-15

This book is very useful for both Process and non process engineers working in the field and finding all kinds of surface equipment. The relation between the equipment is also very important while customer advising because process engineering in Latin America is kind of a game each one plays by his own criteria and having a great weakness on equipment availability. Lets say that general rules does not apply, but with the guidance of this book is very easy to understand why things happen and how decisions affect production fields operations.

An excellent practical tool........2001-04-28

This book is an excellent practical tool to gain understanding on how the Production Sharing Contracts/ Agreements of the international oil industry work and how the negotiations on PSA normally flow. Johnston does not concentrate on cultural aspects of a particular country, but rather on the mechanics of the PSA and its major issues. The topics that Johnston covers are "Petroleum Fiscal Systems," "Concessionary Systems," "Production Sharing Contracts," "Risk Service Contracts," "Threshold Field Size Analysis," "Global Market for Exploration Acreage," "Production Sharing Contract Outline" "Accounting Principles," and "Double Taxation." This introductory comprehensive overview of PSA concepts is written in a clear and understandable manner so that even a person without a background in accounting, taxation, and oil engineering is able to understand the author's explanations and conclusions. This source will be most helpful to consult if one is interested in learning or simply clarifying the concepts of exploration economics, oil taxation, contract/fiscal terms, and PSA negotiations in the international context.

Book Description

Hydrocarbon exploration and production incorporate great technology challenges for the oil and gas industry. In order to meet the world's future demand for oil and gas, further technological advance is needed, which in turn requires research across multiple disciplines, including mathematics, geophysics, geology, petroleum engineering, signal processing, and computer science.

This book addresses important aspects and fundamental concepts in hydrocarbon exploration and production. Moreover, new developments and recent advances in the relevant research areas are discussed, whereby special emphasis is placed on mathematical methods and modelling. The book reflects the multi-disciplinary character of the hydrocarbon production workflow, ranging from seismic data imaging, seismic analysis and interpretation and geological model building, to numerical reservoir simulation. Various challenges concerning the production workflow are discussed in detail.

The thirteen chapters of this joint work, authored by international experts from academic and industrial institutions, include survey papers of expository character as well as original research articles. Large parts of the material presented in this book were developed between November 2000 and April 2004 through the European research and training network NetAGES, "Network for Automated Geometry Extraction from Seismic". The new methods described here are currently being implemented as software tools at Schlumberger Stavanger Research, one of the world's largest service providers to the oil industry.

Customer Reviews:

intensive modelling.......2006-10-10

The search for petroleum, and the maximal extraction of it, is crucial to the continued prosperity of the world. Hence this book is of very practical interest. The chapters show a wide range of skills and ideas, drawn from geology, geophysics, mathematics and computing. For the latter, we see interesting ideas and a massive computational modelling of underground deposits.

The signal analysis is very convoluted, when it comes to trying to reconstruct the layout of an oil field. What is also interesting is the modelling of the effects of pumping fluids into such a field. An active method that seeks to squeeze out as much of the oil or gas as possible.

Keep in mind that the latest modelling ideas are probably not described here. But are held as proprietary.

Maybe this is out of date?.......2000-02-24

I would like to talk to someone about a book we have published (10/99) called the FPSO Design and Construction Guidance Manual, written by Graham Parker, who has been instrumental in the design and construction of 6 of these units. Anything written in 1988 will be technically very far behind; more to the point, perhaps you can consider selling Parker's book. How do I communicate with someone?
