The book begins with a reservoir engineering primer that makes information accessible to geologists, geophysicists, and hydrologists, and serves as a review for petroleum engineers. The second part of the volume, covering modeling principles, has been substantially revised and updated since the first edition. Contents: • Introduction to reservoir management • Basic reservoir analysis • Multiphase flow concepts • Derivation of the flow equations • Fluid displacement • Frontal stability • Pattern floods • Recovery of subsurface resources • Economics and the environment • Overview of the modeling process • Conceptual reservoir scales • Reservoir structure • Fluid properties • Rock-fluid interaction • Fundamentals of reservoir simulation • Modeling reservoir architecture • Data preparation for a typical study • History matching • Predictions • Case study: study objectives and data gathering • Model initialization • History matching and predictions • WINB4D user’s manual: introduction to WINB4D • Initializing data • Recurrent data • Program output evaluation • Technical supplements: simulator formation • Rock and fluid models • Initialization • Well models • Well flow index (PID) • The IMPES formulation • References • Index 294 Pages/2001 Short discount only
