The book examines questions involving the calculation of thermal regimes of oil and gas flow in a borehole, and also involving the temperature fields in the adjoining rock. Special attention is given to heat exchange between wells and frozen ground under various regimes of boring and exploitation. A methodology is given for calculating the configuration of the thawing front around the well. The work is of interest to engineers and scientific workers who are concerned with questions involving the development of oil and gas deposits. (Author) Trans. of mono.
