Fundamental Principles of Reservoir Engineering
Brian F. Towler
Description
Fundamental Principles of Reservoir Engineering outlines the essential techniques required for the basic analysis of reservoirs prior to simulation. It provides a comprehensive review of rock and fluid properties, reservoir statics, and the determination of original oil and gas in place. This volume serves as a foundational resource for students to understand the core physics and calculations necessary for effective reservoir management.
