Petrophysics

The petroleum geologist and engineer must learn about the reservoirs, then start drilling. This book offers the engineer and geologist a manual to achieve these goals, providing much-needed calculations and formulas on fluid flow. New updated material covers topics that have emerged in the petrochemical industry since 1997.

* Contains information on the ground and a geologist must do it
* Filled with problems and solutions, perfect for use in undergraduate, graduate, or professional courses
* Covers real-life problems and cases for the practicing engineer
