Natural Gas Engineering Handbook

Description

The demand for energy consumption is increasing rapidly. In order to avoid the impending energy crunch, more producers are switching from oil to natural gas. While natural gas engineering is well documented through many papers and sources, the computer applications that provide a crucial role in engineering design and analysis are not well published. Updated and enhanced from the best-selling First Edition, this book continues to provide upcoming and practicing engineers the full scope of natural gas engineering, from gas reservoirs to transportation with a computer-assisted approach. This must-have handbook includes:A focus on real-world needs rather than theoryIllustrative examples throughout the textSpreadsheet programs for all the engineering calculations Exercise problems at the end of every chapter, including newly added questions utilizing the spreadsheet programsNewly expanded sections covering today's technologies, such as multi-fractured horizontal wells and shale gas wellsContent: Front Matter • List of Spreadsheet Programs • Spreadsheet Programs and Functions • List of Nomenclature • Preface • Table of Contents 1.
