  • Well Integrity for Abandoned Well Re-entries

    • 1st Edition
    • Les Skinner
    • English
    Well Integrity for Abandoned Well Re-entries addresses well integrity and operational risks that accompany the benefits of using an old and abandoned wellbore by providing it a second chance to perform. Re-entering an abandoned well provides new life to an old wellbore by reducing the need for drilling new wells. This, in turn, reduces emissions footprint, drilling waste, and costs for some wells. The book covers well integrity basics, abandoned wells, analysis required for re-entry, potential uses for re-entered wells (including applications for EOR, CO2 EOR with sequestration, natural gas storage, geothermal heat recovery, and much more.)Packed with case studies and tips for practical application, this book provides readers with an understanding of re-entry techniques, pitfalls, and diagnostics to determine well integrity. This novel text digs deep into the process and benefits of re-entering abandoned wells in support of sustainability.

  • Fetal Programming

    The Connection between Nutrition and Disease
    • 1st Edition
    • Miljana Z. Jovandaric
    • English
    Fetal Programming: The Connection between Nutrition and Disease covers the intestinal microbiota of newborns, how it is extremely prone to changes influenced by the method of delivery, diet, use of antibiotics and probiotics by the mother, environment, socioeconomic status of the mother, geographical location, infections with pathogenic microorganisms, and more. The book describes the root of disease—oxidative stress and improper nutrition—and how they specifically effect pregnancy. In recent years, it has become more and more evident that nutrition is crucial for the proper development of the immune system of the fetus, and its disruption can lead to disease.This period in a newborn’s life is crucial for interventions on the intestinal microbiota in order to reduce the risks of developing chronic diseases by correcting dysbiosis.
