About Fluid Dynamics of Oil and Gas Reser...
This volume bridges rigorous petrophysics and everyday petroleum engineering practice. Kerimov and Rachinsky provide a unique approach to fluid dynamics in oil and gas reservoirs, offering calculations and formulas for fluid flow, rock properties, and reservoir characterization. The book emphasizes practical applications: predicting crude oil composition, pore size distribution, groundwater contamination, and other forecasting tasks. It serves both as a textbook for petroleum engineering students and a reference for veteran engineers, with case studies from well-known fields worldwide. Readers gain tested methods for more efficient exploration and production, and better estimating techniques. The authors' clear, easy-to-understand style makes complex concepts accessible, while maintaining technical depth. This is a valuable asset for any engineer's library, enabling informed decisions before drilling begins.
Who should read Fluid Dynamics of Oil and Gas Reser...?
Petroleum engineering students seeking a foundational text on reservoir fluid dynamics; veteran engineers and geologists needing a practical reference for calculations and forecasting; reservoir and production engineers involved in exploration and development planning; environmental engineers addressing groundwater contamination related to petroleum activities; and professionals working with international fields in the USA, Russia, or Asia who want tested methods for efficient oil and gas recovery.
