Advances in Energy Systems and Technology: Volume 3

This volume presents articles that provide a critical review of specific topics within the general field of energy. It discusses energy conservation in transportation and addresses all modes of transportation in its discussion.

Some of the topics covered in the book are the role of natural gas in domestic energy supplies, the tight gas formation, Devonian gas resources, and the theory of gas flow in porous media, a review of gas production mechanisms, and the estimates of economically recoverable gas. The analysis of methane from coal seams is also included.

The technology and economics of geopressured energy production are discussed, along with descriptions of geopressured aquifers. The Mexican gas imports are presented, and a chapter is devoted to the production of synthetic gas. Another section focuses on the conversion of methane from coalbeds and the effect of gas porosity.

This book can provide useful information to scientists, engineers, students, and researchers.
