Book excerpt: Practical Petroleum Geochemistry for Exploration and Production provides readers with a single reference that addresses the principle concepts and applications of petroleum geochemistry used in finding, evaluating, and producing petroleum deposits. Today, there are few reference books available on how petroleum geochemistry is applied in exploration and production written specifically for geologists, geophysicists, and petroleum engineers. This book fills that void and is based on training courses that the author has developed over his 37-year career in hydrocarbon exploration and production. Specific topical features include the origin of petroleum, deposition of source rock, hydrocarbon generation, and oil and gas migrations that lead to petroleum accumulations. Also included are descriptions on how these concepts are applied to source rock evaluation, oil-to-oil, and oil-to-source rock correlations, and ways of interpreting natural gas data in exploration work. Finally, a thorough description on the ways petroleum geochemistry can assist in development and production work, including reservoir continuity, production allocation, and EOR monitoring is presented. Authored by an expert in petroleum geochemistry, this book is the ideal reference for any geoscientist looking for exploration and production content based on extensive field-based research and expertise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Petroleum Operations This state-of-the-art text analyzes some of the most contentious issues in the energy industry, covering new and greener processes for engineers and scientists and urging them to move petroleum operations closer to sustainability. Although petroleum is still the world's most diverse, efficient, and abundant energy source, there is a growing initiative from global political and industry leaders to "go green," because of climate concerns and high gasoline prices. This book investigates and details how to do that. This groundbreaking new volume: Explains why current petroleum industry practices are inherently unsustainable and offers unique new solutions for "greening" the petroleum industry Discusses hot-button issues, such as global warming, carbon sequestration, zero-waste management, and sustainability Shows engineers and scientists how to implement the processes necessary to be more environmentally conscious Offers, for the first time, a new theory that certain carbons do not contribute to global warming, but their origin and the processes involved do Praise for The Greening of Petroleum Operations "The book proposes a paradigm shift in energy management. It correctly identifies root causes of environmental impact of current petroleum production operations. With proper science, the book shows that fossil fuel production and utilization are inherently sustainable as long as natural materials and energy sources are used.... This book has the potential of revolutionizing energy management practices." —Farouq Ali, Honorary Professor of Oil and Gas Engineering, University of Calgary
Download or read book Petrolipalynology written by Dexin Jiang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the principles and methods for determining petroleum source rocks based on fossil spores and pollen. Studying petroliferous basins in China, we discovered that there are often as many as three different sources of the microfossils: the source rocks, the rocks along the pathway, and the reservoir rocks. Therefore, fossil spores, pollen and algae from inland and coastal shelf petroliferous basins are analyzed and illustrated to show this complex process. Furthermore, the organic origin theory of oil is proven and environmental characteristics for hydrocarbon source-rock formation are discussed. Along with the geochronical and geographic distribution of non-marine petroleum source rocks in China, the mechanisms of petroleum migration following the pathways to the reservoirs are investigated. It will be a valuable reference work as well as a textbook for a wider research areas ranging from stratigraphy, palynology, palaeontology and petroleum geology.

Book excerpt: The excursion of petrol from the profundities of the Earth to the barrels that fuel our businesses and power our vehicles is a perplexing and entrancing cycle that includes a progression of interconnected advances. Everything starts with the investigation and extraction of raw petroleum through the many-sided organization of drills that cut the World's outside. This underlying stage, frequently situated in remote and testing conditions, requests cutting edge innovation and designing ability. The most vital phase in the oil pathway is investigation. Geologists and geophysicists utilize state of the art innovation to distinguish expected supplies underneath the World's surface. Seismic studies, satellite symbolism, and other modern methods are used to pinpoint regions where raw petroleum might lie stowed away. When a promising area is distinguished, the most common way of boring initiates. Boring apparatuses, transcending structures that overwhelm the scene, are conveyed to arrive at the underground repositories. These apparatuses are furnished with strong hardware fit for infiltrating through layers of rock and residue to arrive at the oil-bearing developments. The penetrating system can be both inland and seaward, with seaward boring including much more prominent specialized difficulties because of the cruel marine climate. As the drills bore into the Earth, a combination of unrefined petroleum, flammable gas, and water, known as the supply liquid, is brought to the surface. This natural substance goes through a primer division process at the wellhead, where the oil is isolated from the gas and water. The isolated unrefined petroleum then leaves on venture through a tremendous organization of pipelines interface the extraction site to handling offices. Shipping raw petroleum is a basic part of the petrol pathway. Pipelines, frequently extending for hundreds or thousands of miles, work with the proficient development of raw petroleum from the extraction site to processing plants. The complicated trap of pipelines requires steady upkeep and observing to guarantee the free from even a hint of harm transport of this significant asset. Notwithstanding pipelines, unrefined petroleum can likewise be moved by boats, trucks, and trains, contingent upon topographical and strategic contemplations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Origin of petroleum begins with the formation of organic matter, burial of organic matter in a basin maturation of the organic content with pressure temperature at burial depths. Petroleum system includes source rocks, reservoir rocks, reservoir traps, migration paths, seals etc. Hydrocarbons mature in source rocks migrate into reservoirs. Reservoir rocks are containers of hydrocarbons with sufficient interconnected pore spaces, these are sedimentary rocks clastic (sandstone shale), carbonate rocks. Migration pathways for matured hydrocarbons- migration is in separate phases from higher potential to a lower potential, from deepest to the shallowest. The hydrocarbons migrate into different types of petroleum traps such as anticlinal, fault, salt related stratigraphic traps. Reservoir seals are rocks with low permeability drapes hydrocarbons traps to ensure that entrapped fluids do not escape. Integration of disciplines geology, geophysics, petrophysics, is the key to predicting reservoir geometry, volume, in assessment of reserves.

Book excerpt: The United States is dependent on foreign oil to meet 63% of its petroleum demand. As China, India, Japan, and Brazil - all major importers - compete with the U.S. for this finite resource, global demand is growing rapidly. The U.S. consumes 25% of the world's oil, but owns only 4% of the world's known oil reserve. Projections indicate U.S. dependency on foreign oil will continue to increase. Vital interests affected by petroleum dependency include uncertainty of supply, influence of tyrants, rising trade deficits, projected shortage of oil reserves, and concerns of global warming. Oil dependency is an unacceptable risk to U.S. national strategy. This paper advocates independence from foreign oil by converting the national transportation fleet to biodiesel derived from algae; a domestically producible, clean burning, regenerative fuel. Biodiesel can be transported and delivered using existing infrastructure, including America's pipelines, tankers, and the 178,000 gas stations. Among the sources for biodiesel, algae may be the least favored option. Yet, they offer innate advantages as the major source of bioenergy.
