Oilfield chemical demand has risen 4.3 percent annually through 2011. Gains will be driven by a rise in rig counts, more use of well stimulation and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods and more deepwater drilling and production. Working Guide to Oil Field Chemicals is a guide to the benefits and trade-offs of numerous oil field chemicals used in the petroleum and natural gas industry today. Oil field chemicals are gaining increasing importance, as the resources of crude oil are decreasing. An increasing demand of more sophisticated methods in the exploitation of the natural resources emerges for this reason. Working Guide to Oil Field Chemicals reviews the progress in the area of oil field chemicals and additives of the last decade from a rather chemical view. The material presented is a compilation from the literature by screening critically approximately 20,000 references. The book is ordered according to applications, just in the way how the jobs are emerging in practice. It starts with drilling, goes to productions and ends with oil spill. Several chemicals are used in multiple disciplines, and to those separate chapters are devoted. Two index registers are available, an index of chemical substances and a general index. Condensed for readability this manual provides users with information on oil field chemicals such as drilling muds, Corrosion Inhibitors Gelling Agents, Scale Inhibitors and Bacteria Control. Each chapter follows the same template. In the introductory comments of each chapter a brief introduction to the chemical or polymer type is given and earlier monographs and reviews dealing with the topic are listed for quick reference. The text continues with monomers, polymerization and fabrication techniques and discusses aspects of application. After this, suppliers and commercial grades are collected, as well as safety aspects. Chemicals are ordered by use including drilling muds, corrosion inhibitors, and bacteria controlIncludes cutting edge chemicals and polymers such as water soluble polymers and viscosity controlHandy index of chemical substances as well as a general chemical index Minimize

A Companion in Chemical Engineering (CinChE) is designed to aid students in the development of their critical thinking skills as an engineering problem solver. The creative problem-solving methodology emphasized in CinChE provides a general framework in which to solve any type of well-defined engineering problem involving material balances, phase equilibria, and energy balances. It is a systems strategy that heavily uses the mental processes of decomposition, chunking, and pattern matching, and it is specifically designed to enhance students’ higher-order thinking skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The CinChE methodology is more systematic than the problem-solving strategies found in most textbooks for the introductory course on chemical engineering, like "Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes" (Felder and Rousseau, 2005), "Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering" (Himmelblau and Riggs, 2004), or "Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis" (Murphy, 2007). Many of the example problems presented in the CinChE manual are similar to ones found in the Felder and Rousseau textbook, but their solutions are based on the problem-solving methodology emphasized in the CinChE manual. Because the CinChE manuscript was compiled using Adobe Acrobat®, it contains many popup notes and web links. Using a supplied web address and Acrobat Reader®, students can electronically view the popup notes and access the web links that appear in many of the graphic organizers and example problems of the paper copy. The popup notes provide valuable information to help clarify the content within a graphic organizer or an example problem. The web links access text files, E-Z Solve files, Excel® files, Aspen HYSYS® files, and “.pdf” files. Students can view but not copy or print the electronic version of the CinChE manual. Minimize
