Reviews Inis/Energy ...This book is particularly suitable for the hard pressed reservoir/production engineers in its advice, illustrated with 27 examples and exercises based mainly on actual field developments.
Geo Abstracts ...intended for those in the oil industry requiring a working knowledge of how the subject of hydrocarbon reservoir engineering can be applied in the field.
PES GB, Malcolm Pye ...This book tells you all you need to know about reservoir engineering. ...written with (a) wit and style. .. It's a practical book with
special emphasis on the offshore, concerned with processes on the scale of "hillsides" not coreplugs. It begins with an introduction
inspired by the absence of the word "reservoir" in Daniel Yergin's history of the oil industry, "The Prize". Armed only with Occam's
Razor, Laurie tackles the observations, assumptions and calculations that underpin the subject while offering career advice en route
- the best time to move jobs is when appraisal has finished and before development begins! ...Chapter 5 is Laurie's masterpiece, 150
pages on waterdrive which could be published as a book in its own right. Drawing on examples from the North Sea, "the biggest laboratory
ever for the study of waterdrive" it demolishes the misconceptions that have grown up over relative permeability curves and stresses
the importance of the fractional flow equation in understanding fluid displacement. The section on the effects of vertical permeability
distributions on waterflooding should be required reading for every oil company geologist.
