Petroleum is a yellowish-black liquid which occurs naturally in the geological formations beneath the Earth's surface. It is formed when large quantities of dead organisms such as alga and zooplankton are buried under sedimentary rocks and subjected to intense pressure and heat. Petroleum is a mixture of different hydrocarbons having different molecular weights and physical properties. Petroleum science and technology refers to the various processes related to the exploration, production, transportation and refining of petroleum and its products. These activities are divided into different sectors, namely, upstream, midstream and downstream. It is an interdisciplinary field which encompasses the principles of geology, drilling technology, geostatistics, railway engineering, logistics and transport, economics, production engineering and chemistry. The various sub-fields of petroleum science and technology along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to petroleum science and technology. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.

Stress Corrosion Cracking: Theory and Practice
The problem of stress corrosion cracking (SCC), which causes sudden failure of metals and other materials subjected to stress in corrosive environment(s), has a significant impact on a number of sectors including the oil and gas industries and nuclear power production. Stress corrosion cracking reviews the fundamentals of the phenomenon as well as examining stress corrosion behaviour in specific materials and particular industries. <p/>The book is divided into four parts. Part one covers the mechanisms of SCC and hydrogen embrittlement, while the focus of part two is on methods of testing for SCC in metals. Chapters in part three each review the phenomenon with reference to a specific material, with a variety of metals, alloys and composites discussed, including steels, titanium alloys and polymer composites. In part four, the effect of SCC in various industries is examined, with chapters covering subjects such as aerospace engineering, nuclear reactors, utilities and pipelines. <p/>With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Stress corrosion cracking is an essential reference for engineers and designers working with metals, alloys and polymers, and will be an invaluable tool for any industries in which metallic components are exposed to tension, corrosive environments at ambient and high temperatures.
