Extractive Metallurgy of Rare Earthsby C.K. Gupta; N. Krishnamurthy
CRC Press 2004; US$ 159.95The field of the rare earths is fascinating. Important research and development work continues globally to explore and establish ways and means to put the rare earths to use, individually and collectively, in the service of humankind. In terms of rare earth reserves, India ranks among the top ten countries of the world. Indian rare earth research and industry date back to the 1950s and have been based on the monazite available in the beach sands of the eastern and the southern parts of the country. more...
Assessing Natural Gas and Oil Resourcesby Tom LaTourrette; Mark Bernstein; Mark Hanson; Christopher Pernin; Debra Knopman
RAND Corporation 2003; US$ 9.95Natural gas demand in the United States is projected to increase by 50 percent over the next 25 years, and much of this demand may be met by increasing production on federal lands in the Intermountain west.

Assessing Gas and Oil Resources in the Intermountain Westby Tom LaTourrette
RAND Corporation 2002; US$ 9.95This work examines four traditional assessments of the nation's potential supply of natural gas and oil resources. It suggests a new methodology - estimating "viable" resource, infrastructure and transportation costs. Environmental impacts are also considered. more...
Advanced Reservoir Engineeringby Tarek PE PhD Ahmed; Paul McKinney
Elsevier 2004; US$ 129.00Advanced Reservoir Engineering offers the practicing engineer and engineering student a full description, with worked examples, of all of the kinds of reservoir engineering topics that the engineer will use in day-to-day activities. In an industry where there is often a lack of information, 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. Chapter one deals exclusively with the theory and practice of transient flow analysis and offers a brief but thorough hands-on guide to gas and oil well testing. Chapter two documents water influx models and their practical applications in conducting comprehensive... more...
Drilling Fluids Processing Handbookby ASME Shale Shaker Committee
Elsevier 2004; US$ 143.00Written by the Shale Shaker Committee of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, originally of the American Association of Drilling Engineers, the authors of this book are 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. · Written by a team of more than 20 of the world's foremost drilling experts, from such... more...
