Pipeline Pigging Technology 2Ed




Concepts such as 'fitness-for-purpose' and 'integrity management', the practical development of which will allow an operator to manage his pipeline with greater precision and safety, will nevertheless be based on data obtained from successful pigging operations.THIS SECOND, completely-revised, edition of Pipeline Pigging Technology is essentially a compilation of selected papers presented at the conferences organized by Pipes & Pipelines International and Pipe Line Industry in the UK and the USA between 1988 and 1991. The book is thus a successor to the first edition, published in 1987, and brings readers up-to-date with the rapidly-developing technology of pipeline pigging.

Pipeline Corrosion and Cathodic Protection 3Ed




This update of Marshall Parker's classic text contains the latest hands on information for taking measurements and making the calculations necessary for cathodic protection of buried pipe lines. Essentially a practical field manual for corrosion technicians and engineers, it is a simple and direct introduction to the fundamentals of a complex subject.

The contents cover soil resistivity surveys, potential surveys, line currents, current requirement surveys, rectifier systems for coated lines, ground bed design and installation, galvanic anodes on coated lines, hot spot protection, bond protection, stray current electrolysis, interference, operation and maintenance, and coating inspection and testing. There are also helpful appendixes that explain the fundamentals of underground corrosion, basic principles of cathodic protection, tables of properties of metals, and attenuation equations.


While other books on corrosion are sometimes too theoretical for practical work, Pipe Line Corrosion and Cathodic Protection, Third Edition, shows you how to take actual field measurements and apply them to design a well-protected system.

Handbook of Oil and Gas Operations Volume II






The handbook encompass the sum of activity on the exploration and production side of the oil and gas industry, Drilling.

The handbook assumes that the user is at least slightly familiar with the oil n gas business. It's designed to be used as step-by-step reference to assist in walking through each particular situation, exposing any pitfalls in the planning stages of the project, and giving choices and alternatives at each decision-making juncture. It's also designed to be used as a quick reference and is set up in such a way as to afford quick acces to the needed information.


The handbook is written in bullet style and in an outline format, opting to get the point across without burdening the user with lenghty narrative regarding theory, derivation, etc.

Cementing Handbook





FROM THE COMPLETION SPECIALIST'S viewpoint, proper primary cementing should be the operator's main concern. Poor displacement efficiency which leaves a substantial volume of mud at the cement-formation interface can lead to just about every completion and production problem in the book-oil and gas can be lost from the pay zone, stimulation fluids and enhanced recovery chemicals can bypass the formation, extraneous fluids may be produced and the borehole may not be properly supported. It is important to plan for the primary cement job long before casing is run into the hole, to avoid common problems such as improperly conditioned mud and stuck pipe. And the casing string itself should be carefully inspected and handled to avoid damage that can cause failure in otherwise properly designed strings.
