Publication Date: 2006-04-01
Reading Level: 1000
 
Description: Building on the success of its predecessor, this second edition of Open Pit Mine Planning and Design was updated and extended into a complete and authoritative account of modern open pit mining. New chapters on reporting mineral resources and ore reserves as well as on responsible mining offer better guidance in asset definition and reinforce the relationship between mining and sustainable development. Additionally, the CSMine software was completely re-written in Windows™ format, seven new drillhole data sets were included, and review questions and exercises were added throughout the book. Volume 1 deals with the fundamental concepts involved in planning and designing open pit mines. It covers mine planning, mining economics, orebody description, geometrical considerations, pit limits, production planning, mineral resources and ore reserves, and responsible mining. Volume 2 introduces CSMine, a user-friendly mine planning and design software-supplied on the CD-ROM-developed specifically to illustrate the practical application of the principles discussed in the first volume. It also comprises the CSMine tutorial, the CSMine user's manual, and eight orebody case examples, including drillhole data sets for performing a complete open pit mine evaluation. The large number of illustrative examples and case studies, the review questions and exercises, and the reference lists included at the end of each chapter provide all the material needed to effectively learn the theory and application of open pit mine planning and design.

Binding: Hardcover
Author: Roland N. Horne
Publisher: Petro Way
Edition: 2nd
Dewey Decimal Number: 622.3382
Publication Date: 1995-01
Reading Level: 257
 
Description: Advances in well test analysis during the 1980's and 90'shave been associated with: (a) the use of pressure derivative plots, (b) the common availability of computer software for rapid graphical presentation, (c) the use of non-linear regression (automated type cure matching), (d) the availability of higher precision, high frequency data, both for pressure and flow rate, and (e) the development of new interpretation models, such as for horizontal wells, layered reservoirs and multiphase flow.

This book takes the form of a tutorial emphasizing these aspects of well test interpretation in this new computerized environment. During the book, emphasis is on problem solving, using computerized tools. A companion CD-ROM contains full listings of the data used in many of the examples, as well as a hypertext searchable version of the entire book (in the form of a Windows™ Multimedia Viewer title). A well test interpretation software program on the CD-ROM allows you to work with the example data yourself to learn more about how well test interpretation is achieved in practice.

Description: The lives of coal miners in the United States, like the black rock they cut from the earth, are wrought by the forces of time and pressure. Risking crippling injury and death, generations of miners have tunneled down from the surface and emerged at the end of each exhausting day with the fuel needed to drive the nation’s industry. Their sacrifices are great, their glories unheralded. With this stirring account, author and former coal miner Joseph W. Leonard III provides a means for understanding and fully appreciating the crucial work these brave men have done throughout the years. The mining tradition in Leonard's family spans five generations in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, home to some of our country's richest deposits of anthracite coal. His family's stories illustrate with touching candor the plight of many thousands of Coal Belt families who stood proud through years of watching their sons, fathers, and husbands descend down the shafts into darkness. Leonard recalls with stunning detail the unforgiving conditions—cave-ins, explosions, and choking dust—that he and his forebears endured in the mines. Also captured are poignant tales of the kindness and compassion that permeated mining communities in the face of so much hardship. The intense struggles and quiet successes in Anthracite Roots are a testament to the unsung heroes of America’s coal mines and the work they have done to power a nation.

Binding: Hardcover
Author: Charles Sparks
Publisher: PennWell Corp.
Dewey Decimal Number: 622.33819
Publication Date: 2007-11-21
Reading Level: 300
 
Description: Charles Sparks has written the definitive work on riser behavior, which will be of permanent value to engineers confronted by riser analysis problems whether they are university students or drilling veterans with extensive experience. This book is based on the author’s 28 years of experience with riser analysis and, in particular, on his previous publications, some of which have become classics of riser literature.



Basic principles governing riser behavior are presented and justified clearly. The primary parameters that influence riser behavior are identified and their influence illustrated using Excel spreadsheets provided on an accompanying CD-ROM. Readers will also be able to use these files with their own data. The spreadsheets are designed firstly to illustrate and confirm affirmations made in the text, but readers will also be able to use them to carry out their own simplified analyses.



This book is a must-own for anyone who deals with riser technology, from the classroom student to the offshore drilling platform engineer.





Features and Benefits:


• Clear understanding of the principal parameters that influence riser behavior with their mode of influence.


• Clear procedures for analyzing very tricky problems such as those involving multi-barrier risers of anisotropic materials subjected to changes of fluids, pressures, and temperatures.


• Means of making rapid “ballpark” analyses before and after running sophisticated FE riser programs.


• Ability to make simplified analyses using Excel spreadsheets provided on a companion CD-ROM.

Description: Subsurface mapping is a way to visualize various geologic and hydrologic features in any dimension from a 1-D cross section to a 4-D production map. All subsurface map types can be useful, but the key is to know what you are investigating and what map types are most appropriate.





This new book introduces different types of geophysical logs and subsurface maps that can be generated from basic well data, and subsurface problems that can be solved using geophysical logs and subsurface maps. "Hands-on" exercises reveal how each map type is generated and what applications they may have. Exercises at the end of each chapter introduce different types of wells and lithologies.
