Description
Engineers and geologists in the petroleum industry will find
Petroleum Related Rock Mechanics, 2E, a powerful resource
in providing a basis of rock mechanical knowledge - a knowledge which can greatly assist in the understanding of field behavior, design
of test programs and the design of field operations. Not only does this text give an introduction to applications of rock mechanics within
the petroleum industry, it has a strong focus on basics, drilling, production and reservoir engineering. Assessment of rock mechanical
parameters is covered in depth, as is acoustic wave propagation in rocks, with possible link to 4D seismics as well as log interpretation.
