Basics of Reservoir Engineering - Oil and Gas Field Development Techniques

Description

The volume provides clear and concise information on reservoir engineering methods, ranging from specific geological and geophysical techniques applied to reservoirs, to the basics of reservoir simulation, with reference to well logging, fluid PVT studies and well testing. Emphasis is placed on recent methods such as the use of type curves in well test interpretation, and on horizontal drain holes. The information will help all specialists in the relevant disciplines such as geologists, geophysicists, production engineers and drillers. It will also be useful to a broader range of specialists such as computer scientists, legal experts, economists and research workers, in placing their work within a wider professional context and incorporating it into a multidisciplinary field of activity.
