The Petroleum Engineering Handbook has long been recognized as a valuable, comprehensive reference book that offers practical day-to-day applications for students and experienced engineering professionals alike. This new edition, the first since 1987, has been greatly expanded and consists of seven volumes. Editor-in-Chief: Larry W. Lake

This volume will bring readers up to date in the areas of design, equipment selection, and operation procedures for most oil and gas wells. Chapters cover three main topic areas: well completions, problems caused by formation damage, and artificial lift—a major concern for production engineers.

Contents: Inflow and outflow performance • Completion systems • Tubing selection, design, and installation • Perforating • Sand control • Formation damage • Matrix stimulation • Hydraulic fracturing • Well production problems • Artificial lift selection • Sucker-rod lift • Gas lift • Electrical submersible pumps • Hydraulic pumping in oil wells • Progressing cavity pumping systems • Plunger lift
