The latest edition of this best-selling title is updated and expanded for easier use by engineers New to this edition is a section on the fundamentals of surface production operations taking up topics from the oilfield as originally planned by the authors in the first edition. This information is necessary and endemic to production and process engineers. Now, the book offers a truly complete picture of surface production operations, from the production stage to the process stage with applications to process and production engineers.

· New in-depth coverage of hydrocarbon characteristics, the different kinds of reservoirs, and impurities in crude.
· Practical suggestions help readers understand the art and science of handling produced liquids.
· Numerous, easy-to-read figures, charts, tables, and photos clearly explain how to design, specify, and operate oilfield surface production facilities..

Charles Sparks has written the definitive work on riser behavior, which will be of permanent value to engineers confronted by riser analysis problems whether they are university students or drilling veterans with extensive experience. This book is based on the author’s 28 years of experience with riser analysis and, in particular, on his previous publications, some of which have become classics of riser literature.



Basic principles governing riser behavior are presented and justified clearly. The primary parameters that influence riser behavior are identified and their influence illustrated using Excel spreadsheets provided on an accompanying CD-ROM. Readers will also be able to use these files with their own data. The spreadsheets are designed firstly to illustrate and confirm affirmations made in the text, but readers will also be able to use them to carry out their own simplified analyses.



This book is a must-own for anyone who deals with riser technology, from the classroom student to the offshore drilling platform engineer.





Features and Benefits:


• Clear understanding of the principal parameters that influence riser behavior with their mode of influence.


• Clear procedures for analyzing very tricky problems such as those involving multi-barrier risers of anisotropic materials subjected to changes of fluids, pressures, and temperatures.


• Means of making rapid “ballpark” analyses before and after running sophisticated FE riser programs.


• Ability to make simplified analyses using Excel spreadsheets provided on a companion CD-ROM.

In 1905, a gusher of “black gold” sprang up southwest of Tulsa, two years before Oklahoma became a state. The site, known as Glenn Pool, became the first major oil field in Oklahoma, with reserves so huge that it could produce millions of barrels of crude. As word of the boom spread, a rush of laborers, lease buyers, oilmen,promoters, producers, and speculators flooded into the area with dreams of striking it rich. Oil fields adjacent to Glenn Pool developed, and Tulsa, which grew to be Oklahoma’s second largest city, became the hub of the oil industry. Tulsa: Oil Capital of the World tells the story of one Oklahoma town’s rise to fame and fortune and its emergence as an international leader in business and politics..

Manís enduring search for quick riches and hidden wealth led directly to the rush for ìblack goldî in the Indian Territory at the turn of the twentieth century. By 1907, when the Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory joined to become the state of Oklahoma, the era of the big-money oil industry had been launched. During the first four decades of the twentieth century, Oklahoma produced four-billion barrels of crude valued at over $5 billionómore value than all minerals extracted from California or Colorado. ÝÝThis massive rush also created a new generation of boom towns, attracting a myriad of honest merchants, gamblers, workers, thieves, millionaires and prostitutes who competed sideñbyñside for their share of the riches. From this turmoil came both thriving communities and ghost towns. Ponca City and Kay County Boom Towns captures that exciting era in vintage photographs and anecdotes of the brothels and burning oil fields, the lawmen and outlaws, and the businesses and workers who made up these boom towns. ÝÝ.
