Hardback. Condizione: New. This comprehensive guide distills nearly two decades of research and teaching into a clear, application-focused resource on geological CO2 storage (GCS) modeling tailored specifically for petroleum engineers. While GCS modeling has historically been driven by physics, mathematics, and hydrogeology, petroleum engineering CO2 modeling often requires a different approach. This book translates complex, multidisciplinary CO2 geological modeling techniques into a unified, petroleum engineer-friendly framework. Unlike generic carbon storage resources, this book connects carbon storage engineering theory directly to CCS field application for petroleum engineers. You'll learn how to integrate CO2 injection modeling into established reservoir engineering workflows, run Excel CO2 storage modeling tutorials, and apply geological carbon storage techniques to practical decision-making. The book features Excel-based modeling exercises, interactive quizzes, and practical examples that reinforce key concepts and build technical mastery-making it ideal for both self-study and team training in carbon storage simulation. Whether your focus is CO2 sequestration engineering, enhanced oil recovery CO2 modeling, or transitioning from oil and gas to carbon storage, this is the go-to reference for mastering CO2 storage with clarity and confidence. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. ESG is a powerful concept that combines expectations for environmental (E) and social (S) benefits with effective governance (G), to ensure those benefits are achieved. How can project teams manage ESG with the same discipline, structure, and consistency that characterize the way they manage safety, cost, schedule, and quality? The answer lies in doing what teams do best: breaking down the problem into manageable chunks, setting up a process everyone can follow, working together to develop a plan to which all players can commit, and then executing that plan.This Guide is a methodology for doing exactly that. It is a workbook, filled with predefined worksheets to be completed for each project. It provides a structure for planning workshops to address each aspect of an ESG plan. In addition to its use by project teams, this Guide can also be used by executives, investors, lenders, or government agencies as part of due diligence to ensure plans are in place to meet or exceed ESG requirements and expectations.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Second Edition. The definitive guide on smart grid project development and execution!Planning and implementing a smart grid project can be one of the most complex endeavours that a utility undertakes. The electrical industry is rapidly changing and even the term "smart grid" has evolved from applying to the first automated meter reading systems to describing today's complex landscape of distributed energy resources (DER) and grid management. The new technologies, integrations to legacy systems, business process transformation within the utility, and customer engagement aspects are multifaceted and interrelated in a way that challenges utility planners and implementers. Indeed, a typical smart grid project usually has components that would be considered large projects in their own right.Designed for individuals in the electrical industry (utilities, consultants, implementers, integrators, vendors, and suppliers) who lead or participate in smart grid project strategy, planning, execution, integration, test, and delivery. This book distils lessons learned and best practices from successful projects into an understandable guide and roadmap for those either starting on their smart grid journey or about to embark on new elements of grid modernization. The reader will be taken through the process from the very first planning steps through operational transition and next steps, though each phase is presented in a standalone manner so readers can jump to the most appropriate stage of the life cycle for their needs.

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book focuses primarily on the energy products that are financially traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange: crude oil, natural gas, unleaded gasoline, and heating oil. These commodities are the most common ones used for hedging energy commodity risk. Each of these products has a profound effect on the United States and international economies. It discusses several of the factors that influence energy price direction, the financial instruments used in the market, and how commercial entities utilize these instruments to hedge the risks inherent in energy production and consumption, such as price and physical risk. It also addresses the use of energy financial derivatives strictly for profit (speculative trading) and the exchanges that make efficient and competitive trading possible. The physical cash market is addressed along with the major industry publications that produce market prices, known as postings or indexes. Additionally, the book briefly discusses technical analysis, using charts to identify price trends and predict directional changes. Finally, the book discusses the need for stringent controls on the trading of financial energy derivatives to avoid some of the more notorious pitfalls that have led to the collapse of major global companies and institutions.Features and BenefitsSupply / Demand FundamentalsMarket overviews (financial and physical)ContractsDerivativesTechnical AnalysisRisk Controls.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This book is a must-read for the latest generation of scientists, engineers, and researchers in the petroleum industry. The product of over four decades of research, experience, and study by Dr. Dwijen Banerjee, who carefully preserves the history of the thermal processing of hydrocarbons, giving credit to the pioneering scientists and discoverers of the process. In this first-of-its-kind book, the author summarizes and systematically leads readers through all aspects of the thermal cracking processes from the research laboratory to the commercial applications of the petrochemical industry. Fossil fuels consist of a continuous series of hydrocarbons mainly divided into natural gas (C1-C4), conventional crude oil (C5-C40), heavy oil/bitumen (C40). This book discusses thermal processing of hydrocarbons - with a special emphasis on lighter hydrocarbons - whose main source is shale gas and tight oil that's recently been made abundant through fracking technology. This book details many technical parameters involved in choosing a process when considering the type of feedstocks; operating conditions; selectivity of the desired product; the market to be targeted; and the environmental regulations to be met while also considering the economic parameters such as the investment and profit margin that govern the final choice. Features and BenefitsAn introduction to the basic chemistry behind thermal processing, classifications, molecular structures, kinetics and thermodynamics, free radical reaction mechanisms, and product distributions.A focus on shale gas and tight oil production, properties, and processing as important sources of petrochemicals.Emphasis on the 'petroleum to petrochemicals' which has recently transformed the petroleum industry across the globe.An illustration of conversion technologies - how the paraffinic hydrocarbons are converted into various petrochemicals and eventually lead to the finished products.Insight into the future of hydrocarbons based on environmental issues.AudienceScientistsEngineersResearchersStudents.…
