The demand for energy consumption is increasing rapidly. To avoid the impending energy crunch, moreproducers are switching from oil to natural gas. While natural gas engineering is well documented throughmany sources, the computer applications that provide a crucial role in engineering design and analysis arenot well published, and emerging technologies, such as shale gas drilling, are generating more advancedapplications for engineers to utilize on the job. To keep producers updated, Boyun Guo and Ali Ghalamborhave enhanced their best-selling manual, Natural Gas Engineerin
