Gouanet 1 Cedric Gouanet Professor Dingee English 1301 February 23‚ 2014 Petroleum Engineering Petroleum engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the activities related to the production of crude oil or natural gas. Crude oil is a truly nontoxic‚ natural‚ and biodegradable product. It is the most important natural resource of the industrialized nations. It can generate heat‚ drive machinery and fuel vehicles and airplanes. Its components are used to manufacture almost all chemical

close look at my Resume will indicate that I majored in the exploitation of oil and gas fields in my undergraduate program and specialized in petroleum engineering‚ a similar specialty‚ in my Master’s program. It may well be asked why I maintain such a close affinity with petroleum. The answer is simple and straightforward—because I was born and I grew up on an oil field and I have cherished a deep love for all that it represent. Even as a child‚ I had a habit of watching for hours how beam-pumping

15C-1 The Lease Pumper’s Handbook Chapter 15 Enhancing Oil Recovery Section C SECONDARY RECOVERY C-1. Secondary Recovery. In simple terms‚ secondary recovery is the addition of basic water flood or gas flood (i.e.‚ pressure maintenance) as a continuous force. Secondary recovery methods should be introduced very early in the life of a field while the income and profits from the wells are high enough to pay for the additional equipment and installation costs. As noted in the following sections‚ there

Reservoir engineering is a branch of petroleum engineering that applies scientific principles to the drainage problems arising during the development and production of oil and gas reservoirs so as to obtain a high economic recovery. The working tools of the reservoir engineer are subsurface geology‚ applied mathematics‚ and the basic laws of physics and chemistry governing the behavior of liquid and vapor phases of crude oil‚ natural gas‚ and water in reservoir rock. Of particular interest to reservoir
