Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering

Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering is designed to present the basic physics of reservoir engineering using straightforward mathematical techniques. This volume serves as an essential introduction for anyone involved in developing and producing hydrocarbon reserves, focusing on the complete understanding of physics as the key to solving complex reservoir problems in a practical manner. It includes specialized sections on the theory and practice of well testing and pressure analysis—arguably the most important subjects in the field—and provides a comprehensive look at aquifer modeling and displacement theory. The text is supported by numerous fully worked exercises to help students illustrate and master the underlying theory.
