Couverture de l’ouvrage A Guide to Onshore Natural Gas Engineering

Natural gas engineers are often forced to rely on multiple references to understand the full spectrum of natural gas engineering. A Guide to Natural Gas Engineering gives engineers a systematic approach to the full cycle including development, production, processing, and transportation facets of natural gas. Organized per sector for easy reference, each chapter covers best practices, corresponding equipment and facilities, and a range of additional references all located in one convenience source. Early career engineers benefit from the overview of coverage while more advanced engineers can deep dive into their specific sections relevant to their careers. Rounding out with a futuristic outlook on challenges ahead, A Guide to Natural Gas Engineering gives engineers a more comprehensive approach to this fast-growing environmentally sustainable energy source.

1. Natural gas basics
2. Natural gas reservoir, exploration, drilling, and well completion
3. Natural gas production
4. Upstream production operations
5. Gas compression
6. Piping, valves, and accessories
7. Produced water
8. Plant processing of natural gas
9. Transportation of commodity natural gas
10. Natural gas role in energy future
