PrefaceKHANNAPUBLISHINGThis book contains numerous important questions which have beenmethodically prepared/selected from different text books, manuals ofpetroleum industries, SPE technical papers and teaching materials ofdistinguished persons. These questions are very relevant for promotingfundamental understanding of petroleum engineering. The various topicscovered in this book are petroleum exploration, oil & gas well drilling,reservoir engineering, offshore oil & gas operations, petroleum productionengineering, oil & gas well testing, enhanced oil recovery techniques,health, safety & environment in petroleum industries, and latest trends inpetroleum industry. It contains objective type theoretical and numericalquestions based on basic concepts & latest trends in the petroleumexploration and production industries.This book will be primarily useful for fresh graduates of petroleumengineering who can prepare themselves soundly for both written as wellas oral examinations. At the same time this can be used as readily availablehandbook for quick reference by practicing engineers. There is no othercomprehensive book available of this format in petroleum engineeringdiscipline which can build basic concepts of all the important courses ofpetroleum engineering.I would like to acknowledge the head of the department for his kindsupport. I also wish to acknowledge the contribution of Mr. Rajat Jain,Senior Research Fellow, who has helped in typing the contents of this book.I shall greatly appreciate being informed of suggestions for theimprovement of the book.VIKAS MAHTO
