Reactor and reaction engineering play a vital role in petroleum and chemical processing. The aim of this article is to acquaint the reader with the interaction between reactor design=selection and the characteristics of the chemical reaction of interest. Reactor selection and design are the basis of economical and safe operation. Chemical reactions in petroleum refining include a huge spectrum ...

The prediction of lithology is necessary in all areas of petroleum engineering. This means that to design a project in any branch of petroleum engineering, the lithology must be well known. Support vector machines (SVM’s) use an analytical approach to classification based on statistical learning theory, the principles of structural risk minimization, and empirical risk minimization. In this res...

Based on Eugene Nida’s functional equivalence theory, this article delves into the language features of petroleum engineering English from three dimensions vocabulary, syntax and discourse. With practical translation examples for illustration, several strategies are developed at each level respectively, such as contextual domestication, ground supplement, unity in form spirit, transfer dynamic ...

In this paper we discuss the scenario of Petroleum Engineering projects at Petrobras, a large Brazilian governmental oil & gas company. Based on this scenario, we propose a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) for a Collaborative Problem Solving Environment (CPSE), that we call Collaborative Engineering Environment (CEE), responsible for controlling and executing specialized engineering projects...
