Informationen zum Autor Wilson C. Chin, PhD MIT, MSc Caltech, fluid mechanics, physics, applied math and numerical methods, has published twenty-five research books with John Wiley & Sons and Elsevier; more than 100 papers and 50 patents; and won 5 awards with the US Dept of Energy. He founded Stratamagnetic Software, LLC in 1997, an international company engaged in multiple scientific disciplines. Klappentext 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flow in the most efficient and profitable manner possible, using quantitative methods rather than anecdotal and outdated methods.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. The material in this book is presented in a clear, easily understandable language. Every topic is supplied with specific examples, that help to demonstrate certain elements of the theory. ...having this book is a must for every reservoir engineer expecially for those who have to make decisions as to what simulating software to choose for a particular reservoir and situation. - Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering Zusammenfassung For the practitioner! this volume is a useful tool for predicting reservoir flow in the most efficient and profitable manner possible! using quantitative methods.
