Technical English in Petroleum Engineering

"Technical English in Petroleum Engineering" is designed for students of technical colleges and universities at intermediate and advanced levels, as well as for their instructors looking to enhance their professional vocabulary in petroleum engineering. Tailored as a coursebook for a semester-long program (around 45 hours of instruction), this book caters to learners with at least a B1 level of English proficiency. In the highly specialized field of oil engineering, professionals are expected to communicate proficiently in English and be adept with industry-specific terminology. This book supports learners in developing the language skills and vocabulary pertinent to the oil industry. While it's not a comprehensive engineering manual, the selected reading materials provide a solid overview of foundational technical topics in the discipline, aligning language acquisition with practical engineering scenarios.

The book is structured into 17 chapters, each featuring selected texts and associated exercises aimed at reinforcing vocabulary and applying it in real-world contexts. A glossary of technical terminology relevant to petroleum engineering is included for easy reference. Due to the complexity of translating some terms, the authors have opted for the most suitable equivalents to fit the context within the text. Additionally, answers to selected exercises are provided. The coursebook features a distinctive graphic design: blue frames indicate the source texts, green frames highlight lexical exercises, and orange frames are reserved for students' personal notes.
