Данное издание посвящено проблемам разработки месторождений нефти.
The first chapter contains a review of fluid and rock properties. Several new correlations are presented in this chapter that will assist those doing computer modeling. Chapter 2 contains a development of the general material balance equation. The next four chapters present information on the different reservoir types which the original text treated in the first four chap¬ters. New material has been added in several places throughout these four chapters. Chapter 7 presents a discussion of one phase fluid flow. The radial diffusivity equation is derived and pressure transient analysis is introduced. Chapter 8 contains new material on water influx. Both edgewater and bottom- water drives are discussed. Chapter 9 is an update of the original Chapter 7 but also contains some new material on waterflooding and enhanced oil recovery techniques. Chapter 10 is a new chapter 011 history matching. This is a concept to which each reservoir engineer should have some exposure. The approach taken in the chapter is to provide an example of a history match by combining the Schilthuis material balance equation with a fluid flow equation.
