Practical Reservoir Simulation

Emphasizing practice but not entirely neglecting theory, this textbook provides guidance on the development, management, and application of reservoir simulation techniques useful in the exploration for and extraction of gas and oil. Initial chapters describe basic data set generation, data screening, geological models, model construction, matching the model to known history, predictions, special simulations, and prototypical problems. More advanced topics include compositional modeling of gas condensate and volatile oil reservoirs, hydraulically fractured and horizontal wells, naturally fractured reservoirs, and thermal reservoir simulation.
