As natural gas pipeline systems have grown larger and more complex, the importance of optimization of design and operation of pipelines has increased. This paper examines the optimization issue for the Egyptian gas transmission pipeline network.

Tube leaks present in a water-cooled sulfur recovery unit (SRU) condenser can lead to a variety of process issues, including corrosion and the oxidative formation of acidic species. This work devised a novel method to verify such leaks within a SRU condenser.

A key argument for fracturing without water is that the water left behind causes damage that reduces long-term production.

Since 2008, Pennsylvania has seen a dramatic shift away from conventional drilling. For that year, 4,511 conventional and 300 unconventional wells were drilled.

Ever since its pioneer Renz No. 1 well, recompleted to target the Marcellus shale in October 2004, Range Resources has led trends in the play’s activity. If this holds true, the Marcellus is in for a surge in liquids-rich development.

Petroleum engineering enrollment in the US, particularly at the undergraduate level, is increasing in a manner similar to the period between 1976 and 1982.

When he was young, Yu-Shu Wu, saw the powerful effect that cold can have on rocks. “I was born and raised in the coldest part of China in the winter. There were a lot of fractures on the surface—you see big fractures everywhere,” said Wu
