This edition features practical examples, real reservoir data, and a comprehensive approach spanning reservoirs to surface systems, making it an essential resource for students and professionals aiming to excel in petroleum production. ## Description The Definitive Guide to Petroleum Production Systems–Now Fully Updated With the Industry’s Most Valuable New Techniques Petroleum Production Systems, Second Edition, is the comprehensive source for clear and fundamental methods for about modern petroleum production engineering practice. Written by four leading experts, it thoroughly introduces modern principles of petroleum production systems design and operation, fully considering the combined behavior of reservoirs, surface equipment, pipeline systems, and storage facilities. Long considered the definitive text for production engineers, this edition adds extensive new coverage of hydraulic fracturing, with emphasis on well productivity optimization. It presents new chapters on horizontal wells and well performance evaluation, including production data analysis and sand management. This edition features A structured approach spanning classical production engineering, well testing, production logging, artificial lift, and matrix and hydraulic fracture stimulation Revisions throughout to reflect recent innovations and extensive feedback from both students and colleagues Detailed coverage of modern best practices and their rationales Unconventional oil and gas well design Many new examples and problems Detailed data sets for three characteristic reservoir types: an undersaturated oil reservoir, a saturated oil reservoir, and a gas reservoir Review: Good Basic Text for Petroleum Engineering, does contain annoying typos. - I purchased this textbook (the 2nd edition) for a Well Completions & Stimulation Course. First - the typos: The majority of the reviews of this book mentioned typos - as I used the 2nd edition, the number I met with wasn't exorbitant. The mistakes found where important bracket(s) left out of a derivation step in an equation and quite memorably a problem that very specifically specified an equation with multiple cosines to be calculated in radians which gave ridiculous values: 45 pissed off minutes later found out it was supposed to be in degrees. So why a 5 star rating? Despite the typos, this is actually a really great all purpose textbook. The "Joy of Petroleum Engineering" if you will. I ended up using it as a reference frequently for other courses, it's not a huge heavy book so it's pretty convenient to grab out to reference a basic equation or chart. It succinctly covers most main petroleum topics as they pertain to production (MBE, phase behavior, relative phase permeability, well deliverability, well damage, gas properties, skin) without going into extraneous detail. Classmates complained about it being "unreadable" (we were required to read sections for pre-class work by instructor). What the f*ck? I have yet to find an engineering textbook that reads like Harry Potter. Good fundamental petroleum engineering text. Maybe the author will advantage of low oil and pays a couple laid-off engineers peanuts to do clean up the remaining typos. Review: Updated 2nd Edition - This is the second edition of the classic production engineering reference book Petroleum Production Systems. Most of the chapters have been refreshed and updated. The new, additional material (mainly contributed by Dr Zhu) justify purchasing the second edition of this book, even if you already own the first edition. I would highly recommend this book for production engineering. I've found it to be much more practical than the SPE textbook series that cover this discipline. If you are a undergrad petroleum engineering student, you MUST own and study this book. I find myself constantly referencing it, even 3 years out of college and into my career as a petroleum engineer. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #899,568 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #115 in Mining (Books) #124 in Petroleum Engineering #52,338 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 51 Reviews | ## Images ![Petroleum Production Systems - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71H1nRuLDTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Basic Text for Petroleum Engineering, does contain annoying typos. *by P***A on December 17, 2015* I purchased this textbook (the 2nd edition) for a Well Completions & Stimulation Course.

Used it for my Nodal class. It was extremely helpful and I am keeping it for myself in my library for future use. It serves as a great reference as I see my graduate friends still use it. PS: It got a mistake in the orifice chapter/lesson. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3390024-petroleum-production-systems](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3390024-petroleum-production-systems) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
