Well logging lies at the intersection of applied geophysics, petroleum and geotechnical engineering. It has its roots in the tentative electrical measurements in well bores which were made by the Schlumberger brothers some 80 years ago in the earliest days of systematic petroleum exploration. Today, a variety of specialized instruments is used to obtain measurements from the borehole during, as well as after, the drilling process. This readable and authoritative treatment of the physics of these measurements dispels the "black magic" of well log interpretation by relating them, including those obtained by the latest generation of tools, to rock physics. It offers a thorough exposé of the physical basis of borehole geophysical measurements, as well as an introduction to practical petrophysics -- extracting desired properties from well log measurements.
"Well Logging for Earth Scientists", 2nd edition, is thoroughly revised and extended with three new chapters, many new illustrations and expanded and updated references in each chapter.
Audience: This graduate level textbook with many exercises can also serve as a useful handbook for practicing earth scientists (geophysicists, geologists, or petroleum engineers).
An update of the PennWell classic nontechnical guide to logging techniques, this text provides an easy-to-understand overview of the technically complex subject of well logging. This book will be very useful to bankers, landmen, geology and engineering technicians, clerks, secretaries, and others who need a basic understanding of well logs to perform their jobs.
Petroleum engineers face the daily challenges of designing and testing wells. Finding the right technical data guide for conducting these tasks can be daunting, and so renowned petroleum engineer George Stewart has written the comprehensive volume Well Test Design & Analysis, filled with advanced information unparalleled on a variety of wellbore topics. From ascertaining accurate reservoir descriptions, to the intricacies of designing a horizontal well program, the author covers every topic in detail. The volume includes a CD containing Chapters 16 - 20.

Wet-Steam Turbines for Nuclear Power Plants presents a survey of modern wet-steam turbines, addressing both full-speed and half-speed units. This book explains in clear, but detailed language the design features of the world’s leading wet-steam turbine manufacturers, including the subtleties of operation of these complex components. It also gives readers comprehensive background on typical repairs and maintenance planning. Mainly addressing issues concerned to owners and operators of nuclear power plants, university professors and engineering students will benefit from the thorough review of nuclear wet-steam turbines. Discussions include turbines between 200 and 1,500 MW and greater, operated at nuclear power plants with light-water and heavy-water reactors, such as PWR, BWR, PHWR, CANDU, and their advanced modifications. These turbines are fed with saturated steam, and most of their stages work with wet steam.
While this book focuses on the understanding of turbine design, it also covers the peculiarities of operation, spotting possible imperfections, and the distinct advantages of refurbishing older turbines to gain increased output, greater reliability and efficiency. Readers will gain knowledge of design decisions by world’s main turbine producers: ALSTOM, General Electric, Hitachi, LMZ, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Skoda, Siemens, Toshiba and Turboatom, as well as possibilities for improvement of aging turbines currently in service. This is the first book in 20 years on this highly technical.

Whenever managers start to think about how to promote ideas, the question of rewards comes up. The most common reward schemes - percentage rewards based on the value of each idea - substantially increase the cost, time and effort needed to evaluate ideas, and create a host of unanticipated disincentives for people to offer ideas. This video discusses what motivates people to offer ideas, and what types of recognition and rewards work.

Uncover your blind spots and reset your leadership approach for long-lasting success in any business Far too many business leaders today are using outdated practices to engage and motivate their people?and they’re failing miserably. Truly resilient, thriving organizations are those that are purpose driven and focus on more than pure profits. Purpose, or an underlying company philosophy, not only drives strategic change, but also encourages customer loyalty and employee engagement. In order to succeed, leaders must be willing to discard old ways of thinking and detrimental business habits—and recognize their blind spots.
Authors Jim Haudan and Rich Berens identify the five most common leadership blind spots that hamper success: Purpose, Story, Engagement, Trust, and Truth. They take you straight into the board room of well-known leadership teams to illustrate how these blind spots play out and the impact they have on organizations. You’ll learn how to identify and overcome your own blind spots and embrace positive, forward-thinking new practices.
What Are Your Blind Spots equips you with the tools needed for a personal leadership reset. You’ll discover how to increase engagement, productivity, and growth in your own organization. This is an invaluable guide for executives, managers, team leaders, and human resource professionals looking for an effective way to engage and motivate employees at every level of an organization
