The field of engineering which is concerned with hydrocarbon production is known as petroleum engineering. It is multi-disciplinary field that applies the principles of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, mining engineering and physics. Petroleum engineering is divided into various sub fields such as reservoir engineering, drilling engineering and petrophysics. Its key objective is to extract liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons from the Earth's surface. This requires estimation of recoverable volume and a detailed understanding of water and oil within a porous rock under very high pressures. The processes used in petroleum engineering are divided into upstream, midstream and downstream sectors. The upstream activities involve searching for oil and gas fields which are located underground or underwater. Midstream sector is related to the transportation of oil and gas. The downstream processes focus on refining of crude oil to obtain gasoline. The various sub-fields of petroleum engineering along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. The topics covered herein deal with the core subjects of petroleum engineering. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.

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.
