World-Class ScienceDirect Information drives
World-Class Upstream Oil & Gas Innovation
Elsevier’s integrated content on the ScienceDirect platform
can help to define your company’s mission and deliver
competitive advantage in the Oil & Gas industry by
enabling your workforce to turn world-class information
into world-class innovation.
In a recent global survey, corporate researchers ranked, in this order, the reasons they want
and need information delivered on the ScienceDirect platform to facilitate their workflow and
accelerate outcomes:
•
Accessible to all users, anytime & anywhere
•
Flexible: easy to download or print
•
Convenient: Integrated online journal and book content across diverse subjects
•
Intuitive: Search capability to find relevant content fast, and save & recall searches •
It’s Reliable: Publisher-provided, current content researchers trust
Access to ScienceDirect information helps researchers deliver innovation by providing the information they need to answer these questions:
“How do I…”
•
Find and produce new sources of unconventional oil, which makes up most of the world’s oil reserves, but requires new
and more expensive methods to extract?
•
Improve recovery rates from reservoirs through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques, since using effective EOR
techniques means 30-60% of the reservoir’s original oil can be extracted as compared with 20-40% using primary and
secondary recovery?
•
Address concerns about sustainability and global warming by making improvements in carbon capture and storage (CCS)
and alternative energy research?

Petrophysics: Theory and Practice of Measuring Reservoir Rock and Fluid
Transport Properties
New, 3rd Edition available February 2011
Erle Donaldson, Djebbar Tiab
The petroleum geologist and engineer must have a working knowledge of petrophysics
in order to find oil reservoirs, devise the best plan for getting it out of the ground, then
start drilling. This engineer and geologist manual accomplishes these goals, providing
essential calculations & formulas on fluid flow, rock properties—and more.
Drilling Fluids Processing Handbook
Written by the Shale Shaker Committee of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, originally of the American Association of Drilling
Engineers, this content comes from some of the most well-respected
names in the world for drilling. The first edition, Shale Shakers and
Drilling Fluid Systems, was only on shale shakers, a very important
piece of machinery on a drilling rig that removes drill cuttings. The
original book has been much expanded to include many other aspects
of drilling solids control, including chapters on drilling fluids, cut-point
curves, mud cleaners, and many other pieces of equipment that were
not covered in the original book.
Reservoir Engineering Handbook
Tarek Ahmed, PhD, PE, Paul McKinney
Reorganized for easy use, Reservoir Engineering Handbook, Fourth Edition provides
an up-to-date reference to the tools, techniques, and science for predicting oil
reservoir performance even in the most difficult fields. It provides solid information
and insight for engineers on maximizing production from a field in order to obtain the
best possible economic return. With this handbook, professionals will find a valuable
reference for understanding the key relationships among the different operating
variables.
Natural Gas Hydrates, 2nd Edition: A Guide for Engineers
John Carroll
“I have often thought that many technical books are written for the academic, and not for the practicing engineer. This book looks like the type
that would be out on the engineer’s desk most of the time, rather than
stuffed back in some cabinet.”
Bruce Roberts, Chief Reservoir Engineer, Shell Canada
Advanced Reservoir Engineering
Tarek Ahmed, PhD, PE, Paul McKinney
Offers the practicing engineer a full description, with worked examples, of all of the
kinds of reservoir engineering topics that the engineers use daily. This timely volume
gives a comprehensive account of the physics of reservoir engineering, a thorough
knowledge of which is essential in the petroleum industry for the efficient recovery of
hydrocarbons.
*Based on survey of 2,100 R&D professionals with access to ebooks
on ScienceDirect (Elsevier May 2009)

Formulas for Drilling, Production and Workover
Norton J. Lapeyrouse
The most complete manual of its kind, this handy book gives you all the formulas
and calculations you are likely to need in drilling operations. New updated material
includes conversion tables into metric. Separate chapters deal with calculations for
drilling fluids, pressure control, and engineering. Example calculations are provided
throughout.
Well Logging and Formation Evaluation
Toby Darling
“A concise guide to both well logging as well as other important topics in
evaluating formations recommend the book as an addition to most any
petrophysicist’s working library.”
William D. Moore, Hereford, Arizona in the AAPG Bulletin,
December 2005
Surface Production Operations, Volume 1
Maurice Stewart, Ken Arnold
This best-seller is updated and expanded for easier use by engineers, with a new
section on the fundamentals of surface production operations taking up topics from
the oilfield as originally planned by the authors in the first edition. This information is
necessary and endemic to production and process engineers. A truly complete picture
of surface production operations, from the production stage to the process stage with
applications to process and production engineers.
