Description
The demand for energy consumption is increasing rapidly. To avoid the impending energy crunch, more
producers are switching from oil to natural gas. While natural gas engineering is well documented through
many sources, the computer applications that provide a crucial role in engineering design and analysis are
not well published, and emerging technologies, such as shale gas drilling, are generating more advanced
applications for engineers to utilize on the job. To keep producers updated, Boyun Guo and Ali Ghalambor
have enhanced their best-selling manual, Natural Gas Engineering Handbook, to continue to provide upcoming
and practicing engineers the full scope of natural gas engineering with a computer-assisted approach. This
must-have handbook includes:
• A focus on real-world essentials rather than theory
• Illustrative examples throughout the text
• Working spreadsheet programs for all the engineering calculations on a free and easy to use
CD-ROM included with this book
• Exercise problems at the end of every chapter, including newly added questions utilizing the
spreadsheet programs
• Expanded sections covering today’s technologies, such as multi-fractured horizontal wells and
shale gas wells
