This text and reference explains reservoir engineering and simulation fundamentals, and presents case studies from around the world. It is designed to aid students and professionals working throughout the reservoir life cycle and in various phases of the reservoir management process. Coverage encompasses rock and fluid properties, fluid flow properties, and reservoir performance analysis techniques, as well as classical analyses in reservoir engineering, including volumetric, decline curve, and material balance studies. Most techniques are illustrated with the aid of software tools available in the industry. Other topics discussed include reservoir economics, risk, and recovery processes, including unconventional recovery techniques. Chapter review questions and exercises are included.
