Applied Petroleum Reservoir Engineering, 3rd edition

This book presents many real field examples demonstrating the use of material balance and history matching to predict reservoir performance. For the first time, this edition uses Microsoft Excel with VBA as its calculation tool, making calculations far easier and more intuitive for today's readers. Beginning with an introduction of key terms, detailed coverage of the material balance approach, and progressing through the principles of fluid flow, water influx, and advanced recovery techniques, this book will be an asset to students without prior exposure to petroleum engineering with this text updated to reflect modern industrial practice.

• Covers reservoir fluid behavior, material balance concepts, fluid flow, mathematical techniques for predicting future oil well production, and more
• Updated throughout, and includes new water flooding and EOR techniques
• Includes real field examples demonstrating the use of the material balance and history matching to predict reservoir performance
• Contains example problems with actual well data, updated end-of-chapter practice problems, and a complete case study combining concepts taught throughout the book
• Uses the widely available Microsoft Excel with VBA for examples and problems
