Petroleum Production Systems

I purchased this textbook (the 2nd edition) for a Well Completions & Stimulation Course. First - the typos: The majority of the reviews of this book mentioned typos - as I used the 2nd edition, the number I met with wasn't exorbitant. The mistakes found where important bracket(s) left out of a derivation step in an equation and quite memorably a problem that very specifically specified an equation with multiple cosines to be calculated in radians which gave ridiculous values: 45 pissed off minutes later found out it was supposed to be in degrees. So why a 5 star rating? Despite the typos, this is actually a really great all purpose textbook. The "Joy of Petroleum Engineering" if you will. I ended up using it as a reference frequently for other courses, it's not a huge heavy book so it's pretty convenient to grab out to reference a basic equation or chart. It succinctly covers most main petroleum topics as they pertain to production (MBE, phase behavior, relative phase permeability, well deliverability, well damage, gas properties, skin) without going into extraneous detail. Classmates complained about it being "unreadable" (we were required to read sections for pre-class work by instructor). What the f*ck? I have yet to find an engineering textbook that reads like Harry Potter. Good fundamental petroleum engineering text. Maybe the author will advantage of low oil and pays a couple laid-off engineers peanuts to do clean up the remaining typos.

This is the second edition of the classic production engineering reference book Petroleum Production Systems. Most of the chapters have been refreshed and updated. The new, additional material (mainly contributed by Dr Zhu) justify purchasing the second edition of this book, even if you already own the first edition. I would highly recommend this book for production engineering. I've found it to be much more practical than the SPE textbook series that cover this discipline. If you are a undergrad petroleum engineering student, you MUST own and study this book. I find myself constantly referencing it, even 3 years out of college and into my career as a petroleum engineer.

Great book. Used it for my Nodal class. It was extremely helpful and I am keeping it for myself in my library for future use. It serves as a great reference as I see my graduate friends still use it. PS: It got a mistake in the orifice chapter/lesson.

This book is really great and complete, but it has many mistakes on it. I am actually taking classes with one of its authors and we were told this, so if you are not on a rush, I would wait for some errata or something.

Great book for production systems, it gives you all the basics you'll need, everything from IPR, to artificial lift, to completions and fracturing to increase production. There are a few equations here and there that must have been carryovers from the 1st edition that aren't clear in the 2nd where they came from, but that can be accounted for most of the time, or if you have access to OnePetro, you can go look at the sources or monographs themselves that the chapters were derived from.

Great book to have, especially if you are a petroleum engineer studying production engineering. Written by good, professional and experienced authors. Easy to understand though material might get too technical in some areas, but thats part of the business.

Warning! You will NOT be able to download this book in multiple copies on different devices due to severe license restrictions, as you would normally expect. DO NOT buy it you run more than one devices at more than one locations.

One of the better books On Production Engineering concepts; for someone who has not studied Petroleum Engineering but is working as Production or reservoir engineer with sound downhole knowledge, this book is really a great start to wrap your head around mathematics behind production modeling and reservoir modeling as well.

第二版をキンドル版で購入できました。 実際の本のほぼ半額で、すぐに入手出来てkindleでどこにでも持ち運べて読めるのが評価でs来ます。

This textbook is not very good. It's consistently missing information you need. There are no tables of conversion factors, common pipe dimensions, etc. If you're using this textbook for one of your courses, expect to spend more time with a search engine than reading the book.
