Principles of Applied Reservoir Simulation

SHORT BLURB / BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The hottest, most important topic to reservoir engineers is reservoir simulation. Reservoir simulations are literally pictures of the earth. A multitude of tools, the cleaner, the easier the picture, the more will be.

UNIQUE FEATURE: Completely revised and updated throughout the GPP industry standard has a completely new environment, Co2 Flood, more sophisticated petrophysical models for geoscientists, examples of subsidence, additional geomechanical calculations, and much more. What is this? A great deal of memory for all of us. The new software, IFLO (replacing WINB4D, in previous editions), is a simulator that the engineer can easily install in Windows operating environment. IFLO generates simulations of dynamic 3D perspective. This completely new software is designed to generate simulations.

BENEFIT TO THE READER: This is a better and more economical, and more efficiently. Without simulations, the reservoir would not be able to manage the internal simulation software. It is also much less expensive ($ 89.95 versus hundreds or even thousands of dollars) than off-the-shelf packages. It is, however, just as, or created by a high-profile industry and has been used by engineers in the real world with successful and profitable results.

* This reference is an industry standard for successful reservoirs and reservoirs from oil and gas reservoirs

* Includes dowloadable software of the new IFLO reservoir simulation software that can save your company thousands of dollars

* This edition has been updated to include CO2 sequestration, coalbed methane, Co2 Flood

* The third edition we offer more sophisticated petrophysical models, examples of subsidence and additional geomechanical calculations
