Of natural origin, non-renewable and of limited occurrence, oil moves billions of dollars daily in a gigantic industrial activity, employing thousands of workers, technicians and scientists. Considerable resources are allocated to its development and research, giving rise, every day, to more sophisticated technologies and equipment for the discovery of new deposits, extraction and refining of oil.

This book offers the reader the opportunity to know an overview of the fundamentals of maritime transport and to study, in greater depth, the functioning of this activity in the oil and derivatives industry. Not restricting its content only to the commercial, operational and technical aspects of this segment of navigation and the various charter modalities, the work also discusses topics such as bill of lading, demurrage and international commercial terms. 

This book is designed for different types of readers, from those interested in learning the basics of well design, to those who want to deepen their knowledge in important areas of petroleum engineering such as geopressure estimation.

This book introduces well control principles, practices, and procedures for drilling operations. It describes the well safety aspects contained in international and Brazilian standards, well safety operational procedures, experiences with projects and executions of well control operations in Brazil and abroad, and research results in this extremely important area of drilling oil wells.

A classic reference in the field for more than two decades, Drilling and Completion Fluids, 6th Edition, covers a myriad of new fluid products and systems, as well as technologies that were not available when the last edition of the book was published 23 years ago._cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
 

The book has been updated to incorporate new information on technological, economic and political issues that have impacted the use of fluids to drill and complete oil and gas wells, as well as additional content on equipment and procedures for evaluating fluid performance. drilling in light of the advent of digital technology and better production techniques.

This book was developed for different types of readers, from those interested in learning the basics of drilling, to those who want to deepen their knowledge of the most advanced techniques used in the oil industry.

This book brings a set of fundamental information to understand the stages of exploration and production of hydrocarbons (oil and natural gas) in a didactic and introductory way. The authors, experienced consultants, present all the key stages in the life of an oil or gas field, from gaining entry to opportunity, through exploration, appraisal, development planning, production, and finally decommissioning. Specially adapted to the local reality, the book has chapters written by Brazilian experts on the topics: contracts, tenders, licensing, safety, environment and field deactivation.

It is a book aimed at the undergraduate audience, whose content is centered on the applications of geophysics to solve petroleum engineering problems.

The purpose of the text is to introduce petroleum engineers to geophysical methods so that, armed with this knowledge, they can better communicate their needs and appreciate the benefits of the results received from geophysicists, understanding, characterizing, producing and monitoring reservoirs.

Since its beginnings in the late 1970s, oil and gas production has posed increasing technological challenges. Records for drilling and completing wells, and for producing fields in ever deeper water depths, had to be broken and new technologies were developed. The production of oil and gas in offshore environments only became a reality with a strong dose of inventiveness, based on a holistic management of previous experiences and a myriad of multidisciplinary knowledge arising from incessant research work, from knowledge from academia and , also, from the cooperation of the equipment and input production industry.

This work brings together in a single volume the fundamental concepts for the understanding of the techniques used in the engineering of oil reservoirs, the main methods used in the prediction of the behavior of reservoirs and, consequently, in the estimation of the producing potential and the reserve of oil deposits, as well as as the techniques used to increase the recovery of oil from these deposits. 

Designing and building structures that will withstand the challenges inherent in maritime operations is no easy task. Due to the difficulties in drilling deep water wells, engineers are faced with several conjunctural problems, such as water depth, weather conditions, marine currents, equipment safety and well accessibility, to list just a few of the difficulties. This book then offers a reference for the planning, analysis and installation of offshore structures, providing guidance on the most important processes, technologies and equipment for understanding the latest offshore structures.
