Well Logging for Earth Scientists

Two decades ago, the first edition of this book demystified the process of well log analysis for students, researchers and practitioners. Since then, the industry has changed enormously: technical staffs have been slashed, and hydrocarbons have become increasingly harder to locate, quantify, and produce. In addition, new techniques of drilling have engendered a whole new family of measurement devices incorporated into the drilling string. Petroleum deposits are becoming scarce, while demand steadily increases. Massive corporate restructuring and the "graying" of the workforce have caused the technical competence involved in the search and exploitation of petroleum to become scarce. In this comprehensive update, the authors include all of the new logging measurement technology developed in the last twenty years and expand the petrophysical applications of the measurements. In sum, this is a thoroughly revised graduate level textbook, as well as a useful handbook for any practicing earth scientist.

Coal Bed Methane: From Prospect to Pipeline
<p><i>Coal Bed Methane: From Prospect to Pipeline</i> is the proceedings of the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the North American Coal Bed Methane Forum. It provides the latest advancements in the production of coal bed methane covering a variety of topics, from exploration to gas processing, for commercial utilization. Additionally, it presents the origin of gas in coal, reservoir engineering, control of methane in coal mines, production techniques, water management, and gas processing. </p> <p>The vast coal resources in the United States continue to produce tremendous amounts of natural gas, contributing to a diverse range energy assets. Following a rapid advancement and subsequent plateau in technological developments, this book captures the full life cycle of a well and offers petroleum geologists and engineers a single source of a broad range of coal bed methane applications. This book addresses crucial technical topics, including exploration and evaluation of coal bed reservoirs&#x3b; hydraulic fracturing of CBM wells&#x3b; coal seam degasification&#x3b; and production engineering and processing, among others. It also covers legal issues, permitting, and economic analysis of CBM projects.</p>
