Nontechnical Guide to Petroleum Geology, Exploration, Drilling, & Production

Updated to discuss new and emerging technologies, this guide to petroleum industry processes provides a comprehensive look at technologies, processes, and procedures used in the exploration, drilling, and production of fuels. The work avoids engineering-level detail, instead providing a large body of foundational knowledge on industry practices that is completely accessible to lay readers and entry-level students in geology and petroleum engineering programs. Chapters include illustrations, technical drawings, explanations of scientific principles, and extensive glossaries of industry terms and nomenclature. Dr. Hyne is a petroleum geologist and is a professor of geology at the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
