Taken from Editorial: This Mining Industry Research Handbook comprises the results of the work of the European Thematic Network NESMI, the Network on European Sustainable Minerals Industries. A total of 43 members and about 70 so-called associated members (partners not receiving any funding) worked together for 3 years from April 1st 2002 until March 31st 2005. Their main objective was to concentrate forces in the European mining and processing fields in order to make a significant step forward towards sustainable raw material supply in Europe.

Oil and Gas Production Handbook - An introduction to oil and gas production.pdf

July 15, 2009 · Filed Under Mining Engineering · Comment  · Tags: ,

Taken from Introduction: Oil has been used for lighting purposes for many thousand years. In areas where oil is found in shallow reservoirs, seeps of crude oil or gas may naturally develop, and some oil could simply be collected from seepage or tar ponds. Historically, we know of tales of eternal fires where oil and gas seeps would ignite and burn. One example 1000 B.C. is the site where the famous oracle of Delphi would be built, and 500 B.C. Chinese were using natural gas to boil water.
But it was not until 1859 that “Colonel” Edwin Drake drilled the first successful oil well, for the sole purpose of finding oil.
