Advanced Well Completion Engineering

Advanced Well Completion Engineering, Third Edition 

Once the natural gas or oil wells were drilled, and have verified that the commercial should be "resolved" to allow the flow of oil or natural gas out of the formation and up to the surface. This process includes: casing, pressure and temperature evaluation, and gradually the right equipment to ensure smooth flow out of the well. In recent years, this process has been greatly enhanced by new technology. Well Completion Engineering summarizes and explains sophisticated advancement while providing expert advice for deploying new systems engineering breakthroughs.

This book has two themes: one, the idea of ​​preventing damage, and prevents the formation of drilling into an oil formation stage to put a good introduction, and two, the use of nodal system analysis method, which optimizes the pressure distribution of the reservoir to the well head, and plays sensitivity analysis to design first and then the tube diameter production casing size, so as to achieve the optimization of the entire system. With this book, drilling and production engineers should be able to improve operational efficiency by implementing the latest state of the art technology in all aspects of well completion during development drilling completion and work over operations.

One of the books devoted solely to key technologies for all aspects of the event settlement is well advanced.

Unique coverage of all aspects of well completion by 25 years of industry exploration, production and completion.

Matchless in-depth technical advice to achieve operational excellence with advance solutions.

"Well done Engineering, explains Renpu (China National Petroleum Corporation), involves ensuring regular and safe production and extend the life of oil and gas production wells. He said traditional practices that have been developed in China are no longer adequate for the changing circumstances and changing, and must be reformed , or advanced. It covers the basics, selection mode, select and specify the size of tubing and production casing, completion fluids and perforating, production casing and cementing, perforating, completion of the evaluation of formation damage well, measures to put wells in production, tubing string, wellhead assembly, and good corrosion and its prevention "-.

Outstanding Summary of Conceptual Aircraft Design Approach

Summerfield Book Award Winner, winner of the Aviation-Space Writers Association of Excellence, and with over 30,000 copies sold, this is consistent AIAA selling titles. This highly respected book presents the entire process of conceptual aircraft design - from requirements definition to initial size, configuration layout, analysis, measurement, and trade studies - in the same manner seen in industry aircraft design groups. Attractive and easy to read, this book has over 900 pages of design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations, and equations, and has extensive appendix with key data essential to design. This book is the required design text at various universities around the world and a favorite of practicing design engineers.

The fourth edition of the new improved in many areas, with improvements and reworking of the text, extending the size and method of analysis, and up-to-date treatments of emerging technologies and concepts. A new section of Conceptual Aircraft Design Approach provides an introduction to spaceflight and rockets including thrust analysis and vehicle sizes for launch and planetary missions. Appendix revised and additional exam questions are provided.

"I never felt that I had a good formulation (Design) until I read the introduction of Daniel Raymer Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach Raymer ... implies that design involves far more than drawing a pretty shape and then shoe-horning people., Machine and structural members into it involves art. Raymer's book .... take a practical, not an academic, design development covers not only aerodynamics, stability and stress analysis .... but also the interstitial stuff about general arrangement and interaction design considerations that actually compete grout that holds a design together -. Peter Garrison, in Flying, May 1997 Reliable - as always from AIAA, the best source of quality aircraft technical literature. - Craig Roberts, Roberts Sport aircraft Reference Position - more homebuilders / designers need to purchase this text Keep making your book available to EAA -! Brad Knapp, EAA as if this book was written specifically for me and bring closure to the understanding of theoretical concepts -. James "


It was very good, and at this Conceptual Aircraft Design Approach book, authoratative about aircraft design. For anyone who wants to be an aerospace engineer reading a book like this should put any kind of work they would do in the right context.

The best part of this book is that it is divided into two parts. Frist half talks specifically about aircraft design from a practical level, covering topics such as wing planform selection, thrust and weight determination of wing loading, sizing machines, configuraiton landing gear, etc. It is applied, the type of knowledge-oriented design and thought that all engineers need and unfortunately not taught by most schools, though of course specifically for aircraft. (Lecture I had only one ten week aircraft design courses through the entire four-year curriculum of the course is offered in two parts .. Only one of the parts even have this book on your reading list, and then not even use it in class!) The second part explore methods of analysis used for the "size" is different from the aircraft, such as the method for predicting the drag (for engine thrust on a cruise), to predict both subsonically downwash and supersonically (effects total lift and stability and control), to determine the rough size of the beam members and torsion structure, the size of the control surfaces for stability and control, etc. There is also a nice interlude in which the author gives us an example of a step-by-step how you can do the conceptual design. (This is not the ONLY way to do conceptual design, but it is important to have SOME method and is an introduction to one.) This design also has two good examples in the appendix, plus a LOT of good reference data in this book.

This is the kind of book that should be read first by anyone involved with the design of the aircraft and / or research and development so that they can understand the big picture framework of how aircraft are generally configured.
