Product Description
This book comprises a new mathematical study of multiphasemulticomponent flows in heterogeneous porous media. The goal is todevelop analytical models of the recovery processes from heterogeneousreservoirs based on the exact analytical solutions of equations offlow in porous media. The analytical models developed describechemical and hot waterflooding, injection of gases and solvents in oiland gas condensate reservoirs.
Analytical modelling allows a wide comparative study of application ofdifferent recovery technologies in any actual hydrocarbon reservoirand permits a detailed sensitivity study. Analytical solutions ofinverse problems allow the determination of the properties ofreservoirs and fluids from field test data and laboratory data.Applications of analytical models in feasibility studies, in thedevelopment planning and design, and in reservoir characterization aregiven with respect to numerous CIS oil and gas condensate fields.
While a review of classical problems is included, the bulk of the bookdeals with original, unpublished material and new research. The bookwill be useful for researchers in petroleum engineering and reservoirmodelling, for software engineers, for practical reservoir engineersand managers of reservoir studies.

Product Description
One of the fundamental aspects of petroleum exploitation and production is that of petroleum engineering, ie the assessment and recovery of oil from the various types of oil 'reservoirs'.
The importance of effective petroleum engineering has increased dramatically due to a number or of varying reasons. Firstly, recoverable oil reserves should be capable of extended life by application of efficient reservoir depletion methods. Secondly, the average recovery factor does not appear to have increased over the last three decades. Thirdly, the behaviour of reservoirs is still unpredictable in spite of the fact that the principles of oil recovery are better understood. Finally, there has been an enormous growth in the number of computer-based analysis techniques available to the engineer. These factors, taken in conjunction with the fact that many developments have been presented as unpublished papers, have highlighted the need for a series of volumes which will give the engineer a starting point for the collection of up-to-date information.
This new series of volumes, Developments in Petroleum Engineering, is intended to fill this gap and will contain reviews of recent developments. The chapters are written by specialists at a level which summarises the progress, but does not necessarily cover every facet and detail, of a particular subject. Rather, they direct the reader to the most useful of the original sources. ... Read more

Product Description
This book integrates those critical geologic aspects of reservoir formation and occurrence with engineering aspects of reservoirs, and presents a comprehensive treatment of the geometry, porosity and permeability evolution, and producing characteristics of carbonate reservoirs. The three major themes discussed are:

• the geometry of carbonate reservoirs and relationship to original depositional facies distributions

• the origin and types of porosity and permeability systems in carbonate reservoirs and their relationship to post-depositional diagenesis

• the relationship between depositional and diagenetic facies and producing characteristics of carbonate reservoirs, and the synergistic geologic-engineering approach to the exploitation of carbonate reservoirs.

The intention of the volume is to fully aquaint professional petroleum geologists and engineers with an integrated geologic and engineering approach to the subject. As such, it presents a unique critical appraisal of the complex parameters that affect the recovery of hydrocarbon resources from carbonate rocks. The book may also be used as a text in petroleum geology and engineering courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels. ... Read more
