Modern look at the thermodynamics of hydrocarbon reservoirs

This brilliant, original work offers novel formulations of thermodynamic principles for hydrocarbon reservoirs. The book is packed with valuable step-by-step derivations for retrograde phenomena in capillaries, diffusion and convection, stability and criticality in mixtures, precipitation from complex mixtures, and numerous examples that show in detail how to calculate and apply concepts using the most contemporary techniques.

The book is not only a valuable reference for petroleum and chemical engineers, but can be used by engineers and scientists in different disciplines.

This brilliant and original work offers novel formulations of thermodynamic principles for hydrocarbon reservoirs. Its in-depth coverage of single-phase and multiphase properties of complex mixtures gives petroleum and chemical engineers valuable hands-on tools for increasing yields and avoiding problems, both in wells and in plants. Packed with valuable step-by-step derivations for retrograde phenomena in capillaries, stability and criticality in mixtures, and numerous examples that show you in detail how to calculate and apply these and other concepts, this book gives you new techniques and insights that can help you apply the latest, most efficient, and most accurate methods to hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation; increase well yields as much as 50%; keep wells free-flowing and open; predict the behavior of hydrocarbon mixtures of varying concentrations; avoid unexpected vaporization losses under high pressure; prevent unwanted precipitations; and design plants for maximum productivity. A valuable working tool for petroleum and chemical engineers, and useful to professionals in mechanical engineering and in soil sciences, this much-needed work can also be used as a graduate-level text in thermodynamics for petroleum and chemical engineering. Sample problems at the end of each chapter allow you to test your understanding.
