Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering by L.P. Dake


Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering by L.P. Dake offers coherent account of the basic physics of reservoir engineering that has been most efficiently achieved. No prior knowledge of reservoir engineering is necessary.

The material is dealt with in a concise, unified and utilized method, and solely the only and most simple mathematical strategies are used. This low-priced paperback edition will proceed to be an invaluable instructing help for years to come. Chapters 1-4 offer introduction to the topic and comprise material introduced on Shell's basic training courses. They need to due to this fact be of curiosity to anyone even remotely linked with the business of creating and producing hydrocarbon reserves.

Chapters 5 via eight are extra specialised describing the theory and practice of nicely testing and strain analysis strategies, which are in all probability important subjects in the whole of reservoir engineering. The approach is entirely basic in recognizing that the superposition of dimensionless strain, or pseudo pressure features, permits the analysis of any rate-strain-time report retrieved from a effectively check, for any sort of reservoir fluid.

Chapter 9 describes the artwork of aquifer modeling, while Chapter 10, the ultimate chapter, covers the topic of immiscible, incompressible displacement. The message here is that there's however one displacement theory, that of Buckley and Leverett. All the pieces else is just a matter of "modifying" the relative permeability curves (known in the business as "scientific adjustment"), to account for the manner by which the fluid saturations are distributed within the dip-normal direction. These curves can then be used together with the one dimensional Buckley-Leverett equation to calculate the oil recovery.

By stating the physics implicit within the generation of averaged (pseudo) relative permeabilities and illustrating their position in numerical simulation, it is hoped that this chapter will help to guide the hand of the scientific adjuster. The book also comprises numerous absolutely labored workout routines which illustrate the theory. The most notable omission, amongst the themes covered, is the dearth of any critical discussion on the complexities of hydrocarbon section behavior.
