This professional short course book ($95 USD) offered by Integrated Sciences Group covers the basic concepts of steam generation, two-phase steam properties, and flow of steam through surface lines, pipe tees and control valves. It also includes a comprehensive, up-to-date review of steam flow splitting, rate control and metering devices used in the petroleum industry. Guidelines are presented for selecting the appropriate methods and devices for improving steam distribution and designing a cost effective monitoring program.
This book is designed for facility, reservoir, and production engineers currently responsible for the design, implementation and management of steamflood or cyclic steam stimulation projects. However, the contents of this book are also beneficial for field supervisors responsible for steam plant operation and other technical personnel involved in the monitoring and evaluation of steamflood or cyclic steam stimulation projects.
Table of Contents
Chapter 2 - Steam Generation Chapter 2 covers basic steam generation concepts and the thermodynamic properties of two-phase steam.
Chapter 3 - Steam Distribution Chapter 3 provides a comprehensive review of two-phase steam flow through surface lines, pipe tees and control valves.
Chapter 4 - Steam Metering Chapter 4 reviews the basic operating principles of steam metering equipment that has been or is currently being used in the petroleum industry.
Chapter 5 - System Optimization Chapter 5 covers recent advances for improved two-phase flow splitting and rate control. A set of basic guidelines for improving steam distribution systems is also discussed.
