Product Description
This revised edition of the bestselling Practice of Reservoir Engineering has been written for those in the oil industry requiring a working knowledge of how the complex subject of hydrocarbon reservoir engineering can be applied in the field in a practical manner.Containing additions and corrections to the first edition, the book is a simple statement of how to do the job and is particularly suitable for reservoir/production engineers as well as those associated with hydrocarbon recovery.

This practical book approaches the basic limitations of reservoir engineering with the basic tenet of science: Occam's Razor, which applies to reservoir engineering to a greater extent than for most physical sciences - if there are two ways to account for a physical phenomenon, it is the simpler that is the more useful.Therefore, simplicity is the theme of this volume.

Reservoir and production engineers, geoscientists, petrophysicists, and those involved in the management of oil and gas fields will want this edition.

Definitely the best
Dake really were in his best moment to known something and wrote down, here you can find out the state of the art, even now at 2007 of how to do the things in reservoir engineering, planning, following, just read it, you do not loose nothing, always win.

Reservoir Engineering
This is a book which teaches an Engineer how to practice reservoir engineering in the oil and gas field.

A Workable Handbook
Most books on Reservoir Engineering are very university-Academic oriented and its up to us field engineers to decide wether such theories are workable or not in actual practice.
The Practice is a book that might be ranked as a handbook for applicable usage, especially offshore where economics dictates most decision making.

A Goldmine of a Book
One of the few true "must read" books in the field.

Mr. Dake's book is unique -- reading it is like working side-by-side with an exceptionally intelligent, erudite, experienced engineer.Despite the author's wry conversational style, this is not a light volume that can be absorbed by speed-reading.The author is sharing decades worth of real-world experience, and it merits close study.

For example, after all the thick volumes that have been written on oil well testing, who would expect that there could be anything left to say?Yet Dake's approach to well testing is eye-opening, and will certainly influence this engineer's approach to designing & interpreting well tests.

Experienced engineers may find themselves wanting to argue with some of the author's opinions & recommendations, but they will conclude that the time they invested in studying this book was well spent.

A grand legacy
This book is all that one would expect from Dake, and more. The long awaited update bridges the gaps left as technology has moved on since the original publication. Unfortunately Laurie is no longer with us and this publication is one of many fitting and lasting legacies. ... Read more

The environmental professional faces increasing pressure to keep up with technological developments and to stay abreast of the latest legislation and environmental regulations. Every governmental directive and every new piece of kit introduces yet more specialised terms into the professional language.

The Environmental Engineeering Dictionary (US Government Institutes), was published to help environmental professionals to keep tabs on such developments.

The dictionary gives over 14,000 technical and regulatory engineering terms in pollution control technologies, monitoring, risk assessment, sampling and analysis, quality control, environmental engineering and science. Concise definitions of technical terminology used in new regulations and in environmental literature are provided, covering every conceivable aspect of the subject. As this a dictionary, only the most fundamental information is provided, although the origins of the definitions are given, plus references to sources of further information.

This is the third edition of the dictionary. Many newly created terms are included, while original definitions have been revised to keep up with developments in the field. ... Read more

Very good condition
Book was in very good condition and looked practically new. Arrived in a timely manner.

good seller, bad book
book was in great shape but it is poorly laid out and there is no availabe solutions manual

Excellent Textbook
One of my coworkers had this book, I kept using it as a reference so I eventually bought my own copy.It is an outstanding textbook and an important reference book to have on hand.I highly recommned it.It is far better than the "Hydraulic Engineering" textbook I had in college.

Great book for any civil engineering professional
One of the best water resources books. It covers all major and minor topics in water resources and is a great reference for the PE Exam.

Water Resources Engineering
This book is loaded with good information, but we found errors in key hydraulic formulas, which quickly led me not to trust anything out of the book. The sad part is, this was a required text for an engineering class. Maybe the new edition has remedied the problems, but I wouldn't recommend the edition I bought. ... Read more
