Xinpu Shen, Mao Bai,and William StandifirdHalliburton Consulting Service, Houston, USA

Series: Multiphysics Modeling

Modern petroleum and petrotechnical engineering isincreasingly challenging due to the inherently scarceand decreasing number of global petroleumresources. Exploiting these resources efficiently willrequire researchers, scientists, engineers, and otherpractitioners to develop innovative mathematicalsolutions to serve as the basis for new asset develop-ment designs. Deploying these systems in numericalmodels is essential to the future success and efficiencyof the petroleum industry.

Multiphysics modeling has been widely applied in thepetroleum industry since the 1960s. The rapid devel-opment of computer technology has enabled thenumerical applications of multiphysics modeling inthe petroleum industry. Its applications are particular-ly popular for the numerical simulation of drilling andcompletion processes. This book covers theory andnumerical applications of multiphysical modeling pre-senting various author-developed subroutines, usedto address complex pore pressure input, complex initial geo-stress field input, etc. Some innovativemethods in drilling and completion developed by theauthors, such as trajectory optimization and a 3-dimensional workflow for calculation of mud weightwindow etc, are also presented. Detailed explanationsare provided for the modeling process of each appli-cation example included in the book. In addition,details of the completed numerical models data arepresented as supporting material which can be down-loaded from the website of the publisher. Readers caneasily understand key modeling techniques with thetheory of multiphysics embedded in examples ofapplications, and can use the data to reproduce theresults presented.

While this book would be of interest to any student,academic, or professional practitioner of engineering,mathematics, and natural science, we believe thoseprofessionals and academics working in civil engineer-ing, petroleum engineering, and petroleum geome-chanics would find the work especially relevant totheir endeavors.

Sustainability and Environment

EnvironmentalImpacts ofHydraulicFracturingFrank R. SpellmanSpellman EnvironmentalConsultants and Old DominionUniversity, Norfolk, Virginia, USA

There is a strong need for innovation and the devel-opment of viable renewable energy sources. Recenttechnological advances now allow natural gas sup-plies—previously believed inaccessible or nonexist-ent—to be discovered, mined, and processed for bothindustrial and consumer use. The technology, a con-troversial process that is alternatively called hydraulicfracturing, fracking, fracing, or hydrofracking, hasgreatly expanded natural gas production in theUnited States. Presenting a balanced discussion,Environmental Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing is acomprehensive guide to all aspects of hydraulic frac-turing used to extract natural gas, along with gasexploration and production in various shale fields.

As the use of hydraulic fracturing has grown, concernsabout its environmental and public health impactshave also increased—one of the most significant con-cerns being the fluids that are injected into rock for-mations to cause the fracturing contain potentiallyhazardous chemical additives. The book covers allfacets of the issue, including ongoing controversiesabout the environmental and operator safety issuesarising from possible water pollution, drinking watercontamination, on-the-job safety hazards, and harm-ful chemical exposure to workers and residents nearwell areas.

The author discusses both the pros and cons ofhydraulic fracturing, explaining the process in greatdetail. He describes the benefits of hydraulic fracturingand its importance in making the United States ener-gy independent by drilling for its own resources, aswell as the potential impacts to the surrounding envi-ronment. The text also includes suggestions and rec-ommendations on how to mitigate environmentaldamage. Arguably the first book of its kind, this is thego-to text on the use and impacts of hydraulic frac-turing.

ProductionChemicals forthe Oil and Gas IndustryMalcolm A. KellandUniversity of Stavanger, Norway

Modern production methods and environmental con-straints demand chemical solutions. And as oilfieldsage, the need for chemicals to ensure steady produc-tion increases. Production Chemicals for the Oil andGas Industry describes classes of production chemi-cals for use topside and downhole in the upstream oiland gas industry. It includes coverage of their mecha-nisms, deployment methods, and, where available,environmental properties.

The first chapter gives a general overview of produc-tion chemistry issues, the factors that affect the choiceof production chemicals, environmental regulations,suggestions for designing greener chemicals, and abrief overview of how to remove mercury and arseniccompounds from production fluids. Each of theremaining chapters begins with an introduction to aproblem for which there is a production chemical.The author discusses chemical and non-chemicalmethods, and then thoroughly details the structuralclasses of production chemicals and how they can betested. He includes information on the use of thechemical or technique in the field. References at theend of each chapter provide details on the synthesis,testing, theory, and application of each type of chem-ical.

Unfortunately, crude oil production is characterizedby variable production rates and unpredictablechanges to the nature of the produced fluids. Unlikeother texts that focus on how products perform in thefield and how they are tested, this book focuses on thespecific structures of a range of chemicals that areknown to deliver the required or desired performance.It also provides an understanding of the issuesinvolved in the use of chemicals and a range of pro-duction chemical additives that may be used to rectifyissues that would not otherwise be fully resolved.

Featured Noteworthy books Allison has Published:

“The author has provided very detailed information based on hisextensive hands-on experience. Easy to read and understand, like sitting in his lectures. Starting from basic and easy materials andgradually moving to more difficult and applied concepts. Plenty ofexamples and case studies. The other point of strength is that theauthor covers both rock and fluid aspects in petroleum engineering.This is not only very useful for people who are interested in both topics,but also for people who are interested in only rock or fluid aspects, asthey can go over the other aspect which gives them plenty ofuseful/relevant information which will enrich their understandingand/or lectures. A very good book suitable for both students and lecturers with plenty of worked examples and problems.”
