Description "This book is fast becoming the standard text in its field", wrote a reviewer in the Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology soon after
the first appearance of Dake's book. This prediction quickly came true: it has become the standard text and has been reprinted many
times. The author's
aim - to provide students and teachers with a coherent account of the basic physics of reservoir engineering - has
been most successfully achieved. No prior knowledge of reservoir engineering is necessary. The material is dealt with in a concise,
unified and applied manner, and only the simplest and most straightforward mathematical techniques are used. This low-priced paperback
edition will continue to be an invaluable teaching aid for years to come.
