This work on environmental planning focuses on open-cast mining. It
addresses the issues around open-cast mining that are central to
the context of social science debate: risk; the division of public
and private; environmental protest and politics; and new social
movements.
Well Productivity Handbook: Vertical, Fractured, Horizontal,
Multilateral, Multi-fractured, and Radial-Fractured Wells, Second
Edition delivers updated examples and solutions for oil and gas
well management projects. Starting with the estimation of fluid and
reservoir properties, the content then discusses the modeling of
inflow performance in wells producing different types of fluids. In
addition, it describes the principle of well productivity analysis
to show how to predict productivity of wells with simple
trajectories. Then advancing into more complex trajectories, this
new edition demonstrates how to predict productivity for more
challenging wells, such as multi-lateral, multi-fractured and
radial-fractured. Rounding out with sample problems to solve and
future references to pursue, this book continues to give reservoir
and production engineers the tools needed to tackle the full
spectrum of completion types.
Deepwater Drilling: Well Planning, Design, Engineering, Operations,
and Technology Application presents necessary coverage on drilling
engineering and well construction through the entire lifecycle
process of deepwater wells. Authored by an expert with real-world
experience, this book delivers illustrations and practical examples
throughout to keep engineers up-to-speed and relevant in today's
offshore technology. Starting with pre-planning stages, this
reference dives into the rig's elaborate rig and equipment systems,
including ROVs, rig inspection and auditing procedures. Moving on,
critical drilling guidelines are covered, such as production
casing, data acquisition and well control. Final sections cover
managed pressure drilling, top and surface hole 'riserless'
drilling, and decommissioning. Containing practical guidance and
test questions, this book presents a long-awaited resource for
today's offshore engineers and managers.
Advanced Mine Ventilation presents the reader with a unique book
providing the theory and applications for designing mine
ventilation with computers, controlling respirable coal dust and
diesel particulate matter, combustible gas control and, mine fire
management. The book summarizes the latest knowledge created in the
past 40 years in these areas. Authored by an expert in the field
with 50 years' experience, the book is a great combination of
theory and applications. The mine ventilation section provides
computer programs (both FORTRAN and C++) to calculate not only air
quantities and pressure losses but also the concentration of any
pollutant in all junctions and branches of the mine network. Small
particle mechanics and dust control is covered in the second
section of the book. The third section on combustible gas control
discusses all aspects of mine gases from origin to control. The
last section on mine fire control discusses spontaneous combustion,
frictional ignitions, mine explosions, and mine sealing and
recovery. The book is not only a very good reference book but also
an excellent textbook for two graduate level courses in Mining
Engineering.
