_Reservoir Engineering Handbook, Fifth Edition,_ equips engineers and
students with the knowledge required to continue maximizing reservoir
assets, especially as more reservoirs become complex, multi-layered,
and unconventional in their extraction methods. Building on the solid
reputation of the previous edition, this new volume presents critical
concepts, such as fluid flow, rock properties, water and gas coning,
and relative permeability in a straightforward manner. Water influx
calculations, lab tests of reservoir fluids, oil and gas performance
calculations, and other essential tools of the trade are also
introduced, reflecting on today’s operations.
New to this edition is an additional chapter devoted to enhanced oil
recovery techniques, including WAG. Critical new advances in areas
such as well performance, waterflooding, and an analysis of decline
and type curves are also addressed, along with more information on the
growing extraction from unconventional reservoirs. Practical and
critical for new practicing reservoir engineers and petroleum
engineering students, this book remains the authoritative handbook on
modern reservoir engineering and its theory and practice.
* Highlights new research on unconventional reservoir activity,
hydraulic fracturing, and modern enhanced oil recovery methods and
technologies
* Acts as an essential reference with "real world" examples to help
engineers grasp derivations and equations
* Presents the key fundamentals of reservoir engineering, including
the latest findings on rock properties, fluid behavior, and relative
permeability concepts
