Oil and Gas Production Handbook: An Introduction to Oil and Gas Production

This handbook has been compiled to give readers who are interested in the oil and gas production industry an overview of the main processes and equipments used in the Oil and Gas Industry. It contains explanations of how oil and gas are discovered and extracted today. The myriad of pictures, drawings, charts, and graphs bring the rather technical topic of oil and gas production to life. The book gives a valuable overview of the oil and gas pipelines. Oil has been used for lighting purposes for many thousand years. In areas where oil is found in shallow reservoirs, seeps of crude oil or gas may naturally develop, and some oil could simply be collected from seepage or tar ponds. Historically, we know of tales of eternal fires where oil and gas seeps would ignite and burn.
