Springer Handbook of Petroleum Technology
Series: Springer Handbooks

▶ Comprehensively describes all aspects of petroleum technology,

including exploration, transportation and refining of petroleum and
natural gas
▶ Provides an extensive and comprehensive review of state-of-the-art
techniques and technologies used in the industry
▶ Offers a reference resource for the oil-refining and petrochemical-
production businesses

This handbook provides a comprehensive but concise reference resource for the vast field
of petroleum technology. Built on the successful book "Practical Advances in Petroleum
Processing" published in 2006, it has been extensively revised and expanded to include
upstream technologies. The book is divided into four parts: The first part on petroleum
