This is an engineering book. However, it is a kind of engineering that is not well known by the general public: namely Applied Petroleum Engineering. It reflects our expertise in offshore well construction and the advanced know-how we achieved in Brazil, a long time before the euphoria caused by the discovery of the famous Pre-Salt reserves in 2005. We talk about the professionals who, for the most part, work on offshore drilling rigs, internationally known as Company Men. The Company Man’s work is unique, exciting and very important, especially when we see Brazilian creativity strongly contributing to the implementation of various achievements. It is not enough to be the “almighty” sp...
Este é um livro de engenharia. Mas uma engenharia pouco conhecida pelo público em geral, a Engenharia de Petróleo Aplicada com especialização em poços offshore, da qual o Brasil detém avançado know how desde muito antes do frenesi causado pela descoberta do famoso Pré-Sal, em 2005. Falamos dos profissionais que, em sua maioria, trabalham embarcados, internacionalmente conhecidos como Company Men ou, em bom português, Fiscais de Sondas e Poços. O Company Man é uma das posições mais importantes numa sonda de perfuração marítima, o profissional diretamente responsável pela construção e manutenção de poços com segurança e eficiência, o ponto focal das operações. Para d...

Geophysics for Petroleum Engineers focuses on the applications of geophysics in addressing petroleum engineering problems. It explores the complementary features of geophysical techniques in better understanding, characterizing, producing and monitoring reservoirs. This book introduces engineers to geophysical methods so that they can communicate with geophysicist colleagues and appreciate the benefits of their work. These chapters describe fundamentals of geophysical techniques, their physical bases, their applications and limitations, as well as possible pitfalls in their misuse. Case study examples illustrate the integration of geophysical data with various other data types for predicting and describing reservoir rocks and fluid properties. The examples come from all over the world, with several case histories from the fields in the Middle East. Introduces geophysical methods to engineers Helps understanding, characterizing, producing and monitoring of geophysical techniques Updates the changing needs of reservoir engineering

Suicide is undoubtedly a worldwide major challenge for the public health. It is estimated that more than 150,000 persons in Europe die as a result of suicide every year and in several European countries suicide represents the principal cause of death among young people aged 14–25 years. It is true that suicide is a complex (and yet not fully understood) phenomenon and may be determined by the interaction between various factors, such as neurobiology, personal and familiar history, stressful events, sociocultural environment, etc. The suicide is always a plague for the population at risk and one of the most disgraceful events for a human being. Moreover, it implies a lot of pain often share...
