Submit a ProposalThe Fundamentals of the Petrophysics of Oil and Gas Reservoirs
 | By Leonid Buryakovsky, George V. Chilingar, Herman H. Rieke, and Sanghee Shin Copyright: 2012 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781118344477 | Hardcover | 300 pages | 179 illustrations Price: $195 USD  |
One Line Description
Written by some of the world's most renowned petroleum and environmental engineers, this volume is the first book to offer the practicing engineer and engineering student these new cutting-edge techniques for prediction and forecasting in petroleum engineering and environmental management.
Audience
Petroleum Engineers, Environmental Engineering, Geologists, Geophysicists and Engineering Students, petroleum, drilling, and reservoir engineers, production engineers and geologists
Petroleum Engineers, Environmental Engineering, Geologists, Geophysicists and Engineering Students, petroleum, drilling, and reservoir engineers, production engineers and geologists
Description
In this book, the authors combine a rigorous, yet easy to understand, approach to petrophysics and how it is applied to petroleum and environmental engineering to solve multiple problems that the engineer or geologist faces every day. Useful in the prediction of everything from crude oil composition, pore size distribution in reservoir rocks, groundwater contamination, and other types of forecasting, this approach provides engineers and students alike with a convenient guide to many real-world applications.
Petroleum geologists and engineers must have a working knowledge of petrophysics in order to find oil reservoirs and devise the best plan for getting it out of the ground, before drilling can begin. This book offers the engineer and geologist a fundamental guide for accomplishing these goals, providing much-needed calculations and formulas on fluid flow, rock properties, and many other topics that are encountered every day.
The approach taken in Petrophysics: The Fundamentals of Oil and Gas Reservoirs is unique and has not been addressed until now in a book format. Readers now have the ability to review the historic development of relationships and equations to define critical petrophysics attributes, many of which have either never been covered in the literature on petrophysics or have not been covered in depth.
Useful for the veteran engineer or scientist and the student alike, this book is a must-have for any geologist, engineer, or student working in the field of upstream petroleum engineering.
