Development and exploitation of oil and gas fields (Разработка и эксплуатация нефтяных и газовых месторождений)

Description

Пер. с русского. Peace Publishers Moscow, 1976. - 500 с.The book aims at developing modern conceptions of the essentials of the problems considered, and at providing information on the latest scientific and technical achievements and the trend of research on individual problems. It was also important not to encumber the material with petty, secondary and inessential problems of purely practical significance. Therefore, the present book should not be considered as a guide to the practical worker.ContentsPreface IntroductionGeneral Information About Oil And Gas ReservoirsGeological and Physical Characteristics of Oil and Gas ReservoirsNatural Oil and Gas Collectors Rock Porosity Grain-size Distribution in Rocks Permeability of Rocks Specific Surface of Rocks Mechanical Properties of Rocks Occurrence of Oil, Gas and Water in Oil and Gas Reservoirs Physical Properties of Gas Phase State of a Gas-oil Mixture Physical Properties of Fluids under Formation Conditions Molecular-surface Properties of the Oil-gas-water-rock System Surface and Capillary Effects in the Displacement of Oil from PorousMedia by Water and Gas Drainage of Oil and Gas Reservoirs by WellsReservoir Energy and Forces Operative in Reservoirs Oil and Gas Reservoir Drives Oil Recovery Under Different DrivesInflux of Oil and Gas into Wells.
