Simulate reservoirs effectively to extract the maximum oil, gas and profit, with this book and free simlation software on companion web site.

Presents numerical methods for reservoir simulation, with efficient implementation and examples using widely-used online open-source code, for researchers, professionals and advanced students. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book is exploitation technology oriented and it covers both theory and practice with respect to petroleum reservoirs. Both English language and Russian professional literature are analyzed and elaborated considering interparticle and dual porosity reservoirs. The book consists of four parts. Part I deals with geological principles for recovery processes; Part II deals with classical recovery processes focusing on planning and analysis of technologies; Part III looks at enhanced recovery methods of oil and gas; and Part IV includes different topics necessary for reservoir engineering planning and analysis. A number of examples and practical data are presented which are relevant to technology and recovery efficiency. The book is recommended for students; geologists; reservoir and production engineers who are engaged with crude oil, natural gas, and water production from structures that are located underground; and even for those specialists who deal with gas storage in porous rocks

The Petroleum Engineering Handbook has long been recognized as a valuable comprehensive reference book that offers practical day-to-day applications for students and experienced engineering professionals alike. Available now in 7 Volumes, Volume 1 covers General Engineering topics including chapters on mathematics, fluid properties (fluid sampling techniques; properties and correlations of oil, gas, condensate, and water; hydrocarbon phase behavior and phase diagrams for hydrocarbon systems; the phase behavior of water/hydrocarbon systems; and the properties of waxes, asphaltenes, and crude oil emulsions), rock properties (bulk rock properties, permeability, relative permeability, and capillary pressure), the economic and regulatory environment, and the role of fossil energy in the 21st century energy mix.
