This book covers several aspects of reservoir management, from initial analysis to enhanced recovery methods, simulation, and history matching. Split into four parts, part one provides readers with an introduction to the physical properties of reservoir rocks. Part two provides an introduction to enhanced recovery methods used for conventional oil production. Part three shows how numerical methods can be used to simulate the behaviour of oil and gas reservoirs. Finally, part four looks at history matching of reservoirs through the building of numerical models using past data, in order to provide best practice for future reservoir development and management.
Written as the third volume in the Imperial College Lectures in Petroleum Engineering, and based on lectures that have been given in the world-renowned Imperial College Masters Course in Petroleum Engineering, Topics in Reservoir Management provides the basic information needed for students and practitioners of petroleum engineering and petroleum geoscience.
Contents:
- Introduction to Rock Properties (Robert W Zimmerman)
- Introduction to Enhanced Recovery Processes for Conventional Oil Production (Samuel C Krevor and Ann H Muggeridge)
- Numerical Simulation (Dave Waldren)
- History Matching (Deryck Bond)
Readership: Students of the petroleum engineering, earth sciences, engineering and geoscience.
