Zolotukhin Anatoly, Ursin Jann-Rune. Fundamentals of Petroleum Reservoir Engineering

Kristiansand, Norway : Høyskoleforlaget, Norwegian Academic Press, 2000. — 217 p. — Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (Moscow, Russia) — ISBN: 8276340652 9788276340655. — OCLC Number: 81052860. — viii, 407 pages: illustrationsThe topics covered in this book represent a review of modern approaches and practical methods for analysing various problems related to reservoir engineering.
This textbook, part I Fundamentals and part II Reservoir Parameter Estimation Methods, constitutes the main content of the book. The subjects presented, are based on the course of lectures in Reservoir Engineering 1 held by the authors at the Rogaland University Centre in the period from 1989 to 1995. Part IIIFluid Flow in Porous Media and part IV Enhanced Oil Recovery are a collection of subjects extending the fundamental knowledge into areas of more advanced theoretical description. The last part VProjects Exercises presents quite a few exercises of the type students are asked to solve at their examination test.
The book contains a short introduction to important definitions for oil and gas reservoirs (Chapter 1). The two main parts of the book is related to petro-physics (Chapter 2 to 10), and related to two important methods in Reservoir Engineering, namely Material Balance (Chapter 11) and Well Testing (Chapter 12, 13 and 14). Modelling of fluid flow in porous media is presented through different examples using various mathematical techniques (Chapter 15 to 20).
Classification and description of several methods used in enhanced oil recovery are associated with examples for oil and gas fields in the North Sea (Chapter 21 to 27)
