NONTECHNICAL GUIDE TO PETROLEUM GEOLOGY, EXPLORATION, DRILLING AND PRODUCTION, 2ND ED.
Item# 9780878148233
Brand: PennWell

Used by corporate training departments and colleges and universities worldwide, this is the most complete upstream guide available. Hyne provides an easy to understand explanation of complex topics with pictures, graphs, and illustrations covering everything from how oil & gas is formed; how to find commercial quantities; how to drill, evaluate, and complete a well all the way through production and improved oil recovery.

Dr. Hyne teaches nontechnical courses, both public and in house, on petroleum exploration, drilling and production. His most popular course is Basic Petroleum Geology for the Non-Geologist. The courses are offered through the University of Tulsa, Continuing Education Engineering and Sciences Education Department.
