Reservoir Engineering Fundamentals
Useful background: Petroleum Geology and Reservoirs. A working course in reservoir engineering for graduate engineers, geoscientists, production technologists and asset team members: rock and fluid properties, PVT, volumetric oil and gas in place, uncertainty and SPE-PRMS reserves, drive mechanisms and material balance, well inflow, decline curves, waterflooding and gas injection, and how simulation and surveillance support reservoir management. Every calculation is worked through step by step in oilfield units.
