Wilson C. Chin, Wilson C. Chin, Ph.D., is professor of process engineering at the University of Houston. He has published more than seventy articles on
numerical analysis, grid generation, and computational flow modeling.
Description
For the practitioner, this volume is a valuable tool for predicting reservoir flow in the most efficient and profitable manner possible,
using quantitative methods rather than anecdotal and outdated methods. For the student, this volume offers insight not covered in other
textbooks.
Too many approaches in traditional petroleum engineering are based on "ad hoc" and "common sense" methods that have no rigorous
mathematical basis. Most textbooks dealing with reservoir engineering do not go into the necessary mathematical detail and depth. This
new book by Wilson Chin, a revision of two earlier books published by Gulf Publishing, Modern Reservoir Flow and Well Transient Analysis
and Formation Invasion, integrates rigorous mathematical methods for simulating and predicting reservoir flow both near and away from
the well.
Audience
