Petroleum Engineering: Principles, Calculations, and Workflows

A comprehensive and practical guide to methods for solving complex petroleum engineering problems Petroleum engineering is guided by overarching scientific and mathematical principles, but there is sometimes a gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Petroleum Engineering: Principles, Calculations, and Workflows presents methods for solving a wide range of real-world petroleum engineering problems. Each chapter deals with a specific issue, and includes formulae that help explain primary principles of the problem before providing an easy to follow, practical application. Volume highlights include: A robust, integrated approach to solving inverse problemsIn-depth exploration of workflows with model and parameter validationSimple approaches to solving complex mathematical problemsComplex calculations that can be easily implemented with simple methodsOverview of key approaches required for software and application developmentFormulae and model guidance for diagnosis, initial modeling of parameters, and simulation and regression Petroleum Engineering: Principles, Calculations, and Workflows is a valuable and practical resource to a wide community of geoscientists, earth scientists, exploration geologists, and engineers. This accessible guide is also well-suited for graduate and postgraduate students, consultants, software developers, and professionals as an authoritative reference for day-to-day petroleum engineering problem solving.Read an interview with the editors to find out more:https://eos.org/editors-vox/integrated-workflow-approach-for-petroleum-engineering-problems
