Foundations of Rock Mechanics in Oil and Gas Engineering, Paperback Book

Foundations of Rock Mechanics in Oil and Gas Engineering Paperback

Paperback

Description

This book introduces the basic theoretical knowledge of rock mechanics and its application in petroleum engineering. It covers the gamut of the formulas and calculations for petroleum engineers that have been compiled over decades, while others are meant to help guide the engineer through some of the more recent breakthroughs in the industry's technology.

The topics are introduced at a level that should give a good basic understanding of the subject:

* Basic concepts of stress and strain

* Experimental method of rock mechanics

* Rock deformation and strength characteristics

* Rock strength failure criterion

* In situ stress state

* Application method of rock mechanics theory in the field of wellbore stability

* Application method of rock mechanics theory in the field of sand production

* Application method of rock mechanics theory in the field of hydraulic fracturing.

This textbook contains abundant figures, illustrations, and tables, providing valuable examples and exercises.

Key Features and Benefits for the Reader: * Helps in understanding the basic concepts of rock mechanics

* Applies rock mechanics theory and method to various fields of petroleum engineering

* Includes a large number of calculations, tables, and equations that are very useful for petroleum engineers

* Presents new and updated sections in rock mechanics of petroleum engineering.
