Working Guide to Reservoir Engineering

Present time saving workflow solutions to increase efficiency and productivity

Designed for technical professionals who need a 'quick look up' reference for solving day-to-day engineering, management, and optimization problems, this working guide provides those new to reservoir engineering a starting point for understanding the basics and going on to formulate effective workflow solutions.Working Guide to Reservoir Engineering provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of reservoir engineering. The book begins by discussing basic concepts such as types of reservoir fluids, the properties of fluid containing rocks, and the properties of rocks containing multiple fluids. It then describes formation evaluation methods, including coring and core analysis, drill stem tests, logging, and initial estimation of reserves. The book explains the enhanced oil recovery process, which includes methods such as chemical flooding, gas injection, thermal recovery, technical screening, and laboratory design for enhanced recovery. Also included is a discussion of fluid movement in waterflooded reservoirs.
