Handbook of Petroleum Geoscience
HANDBOOK OF PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCE
This reference brings together the latest industrial updates and research advances in regional tectonics and geomechanics. Each chapter is based upon an in-depth case study from a particular region, highlighting core concepts and themes as well as regional variations.
Key topics discussed in the book are:
* Drilling solutions from the Kutch offshore basin
* Geophysical studies from a gas field in Bangladesh
* Exploring Himalayan terrain in India
* Tectonics and exploration of the Persian Gulf basin
* Unconventional gas reservoirs in the Bohemian Massif
This book is an invaluable industry resource for professionals and academics working in and studying the fields of petroleum geoscience and tectonics.

A play for oil : the stories behind the discovery and development of oil and gas
\"If you want to learn how hydrocarbons are discovered and produced, Tim's explanations have the added colour of ... descriptions of the sites discussed and allow you to meet some of the most important characters in the industry, and to gain new insights into this global industry. In addition, the depictions of key events and locations add an element of national politics and travelogue feel\"--Back cover.

Petroleum Rock Mechanics
Petroleum Rock Mechanics: Drilling Operations and Well Design covers the fundamentals of solid mechanics and petroleum rock mechanics and their application to oil and gas-related drilling operations and well design. More specifically, it examines the role of formation, strength of rock materials, and wellbore mechanics, along with the impact of in-situ stress changes on wellbore and borehole behavior. Practical examples with solutions and a comprehensive glossary of terminologies are provided. Equations are incorporated into well-known failure criteria to predict stresses and to analyze a range of failure scenarios throughout drilling, well operation, and well completion processes. The book also discusses stress and strain components, principal and deviatoric stresses and strains, materials behavior, the theories of elasticity and inelasticity, probabilistic analysis of stress data, the tensile and shear strength of rocks, wellbore stability, and fracture and collapse behavior for both single and multi-lateral wells. Both inexperienced university students and experienced engineers will find this book extremely useful. Clearly applies rock mechanics to on and off shore oil and gas drilling Step by Step approach to the analyze wellbore instabilities Provides worked out examples with solutions to everyday problems

Ecosystem services lost to oil and gas in North America
Net primary production reduced in crop and rangelands Advanced technologies in oil and gas extraction coupled with energy demand have encouraged an average of 50,000 new wells per year throughout central North America since 2000. Although similar to past trends (see the graph, this page), the space and infrastructure required for horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing are transforming millions of hectares of the Great Plains into industrialized landscapes, with drilling projected to continue ( 1 , 2 ). Although this development brings economic benefits ( 3 ) and expectations of energy security, policy and regulation give little attention to trade-offs in the form of lost or degraded ecosystem services ( 4 ). It is the scale of this transformation that is important, as accumulating land degradation can result in continental impacts that are undetectable when focusing on any single region ( 5 ). With the impact of this transformation on natural systems and ecosystem services yet to be quantified at broad extents, decisions are being made with few data at hand (see the graph, this page).
