This comprehensive reference is the first to cover industrially important borates, from deposits, through chemistry, mining, processing, and applications. The reference work begins with a listing of the 238 currently known borate minerals, their formulas, and properties. It features modern theories on the origin of borate deposits, their molecular structure and detailed descriptions of the world's borate deposits.

This extensive and comprehensive collection of lectures by world-leading experts in the field introduces and reviews all relevant computer simulation methods and their applications in condensed matter systems. Volume 2 offers surveys on numerical experiments carried out for a great number of systems, ranging from materials sciences to chemical biology, including supercooled liquids, spin glasses, colloids, polymers, liquid crystals, biological membranes and folding proteins.

A concise treatment of the fundamental principles of sedimentology and stratigraphy, featuring the important physical, chemical, biological and stratigraphic characteristics of sedimentary rocks. Emphasized are the ways in which the study of sedimentary rocks is used to interpret depositional environments, changes in ancient sea level, and other intriguing aspects of Earth history. Topics include the origin and transport of sedimentary materials; physical properties of sedimentary rocks; composition, classification and diagenesis of sedimentary rocks and principles of stratigraphy and basin analysis.

This book provides an overview of all major topics in sedimentary geology. It is unique in its quantitative approach to denudation-accumulation systems and basin fillings, including dynamic aspects. The relationship between tectonism and basin evolution as well as the concepts of sequence cycle and event stratigraphy in various depositional environments are extensively discussed.

This book represents a comprehensive summary of cutting-edge developments across a wide range of subject matters that are of extreme relevance to the global research, mining and exploration community.

Анализ разрабатываемого нефтегазового месторождения как сложной системы с неопределенностями. Рассматриваются математические модели для расчета технологических показателей разработки нефтегазовых залежей системами горизонтальных скважин для различных геолого-физических условий. Oписаны реализованные проекты разработки опытных участков залежей углеводородов горизонтальными скважинами на шести месторождениях.
The system analysis of an oil and gas field under development is given considering it as a complex system with some ambiguity. The designs of development for test hydrocarbon fields by using horizontal wells, which have already been realized in six fields, are described in details.

This book explains the fundamentals of reservoir engineering and their practical application in conducting a comprehensive field study. This Edition provides an up-to-date reference to the tools, techniques, and science for predicting oil reservoir performance even in the most difficult fields. With this handbook, professionals will find a valuable reference for understanding the key relationships among the different operating variables.
