Description: The job of any
reservoir engineer is to maximize production from a field to obtain the best
economic return. To do this, the engineer must study the behavior and
characteristics of a petroleum reservoir to determine the course of future
development and production that will maximize the profit. Fluid flow, rock
properties, water and gas coning, and relative permeability are only a few of
the concepts that a reservoir engineer must understand to do the job right, and
some of the tools of the trade are water influx calculations, lab tests of
reservoir fluids, and oil and gas performance calculations.
Two new chapters
have been added to the first edition to make this book a complete resource for
students and professionals in the petroleum industry: Principles of
Waterflooding, Vapor-Liquid Phase Equilibria.
Covers reservoir
fluid behavior and properties, including laboratory analysis and reservoir
fluid flow
Provides a guide
to predicting oil reservoir performance through analysis of oil recovery
mechanisms and performance calculations
Explains the
fundamentals of reservoir engineering and their practical application through a
comprehensive field study
