Synopsis

This book provides a thorough analysis of the fluid transport properties of rocks and the rock-fluid interactions that influence the flow of fluids. It provides research engineers, field engineers, and students with the theories, mathematical concepts, and methods for measuring and testing the properties of rocks and fluid flow. This book reviews the origin, composition, and geology of sedimentary rocks and their interstitial fluids. It also examines the important role they play in reservoir engineering. References at the end of each chapter allow for further, in-depth study. Chapters concentrate on the specific theories and mathematics of rock and fluid interactions. The petrophysical properties are especially important in the planning and design of reservoir development. You'll find complete coverage of electrical, capillary pressure, and fluid transport properties. The transport of particles in porous media and the effects of mechanical stress on fluid flow properties are also described. This book supplies detailed laboratory methods for the measurement of petrophysical fluid flow parameters with discussions of equipment, procedures, and calculations. The book is designed for classroom use, and each chapter includes examples and problems.

Biographie de l'auteur

Erle C. Donaldson is an independent consultant and managing editor of the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering. He was elected to the International Hall of Fame for Science in 1993. He has received a distinguished service award from the Republic of Honduras and other honors from the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Petroleum Engineering Honor Society, and the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Donaldson has written, co-authored, and served as editor on numerous articles and books.

Djebbar Tiab is the Senior Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Oklahoma, and Petroleum Engineering consultant. He received his B.Sc. (May 1974) and M.Sc. (May 1975) degrees from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, and his Ph.D. degree (July 1976) from the University of Oklahoma-all in petroleum engineering. He is the Director of the University of Oklahoma Graduate Program in Petroleum Engineering in Algeria. At the University of Oklahoma, he taught fifteen different petroleum and general engineering courses including: well test analysis, petrophysics, oil reservoir engineering, natural gas engineering, and properties of reservoir fluids. Dr. Tiab has consulted for a number of oil companies and offered training programs in petroleum engineering in the USA and overseas. He worked for over two years in the oilfields of Algeria for Alcore, S.A., an association of Sonatrach and Core Laboratories. He has also worked and consulted for Core Laboratories and Western Atlas in Houston, Texas, for four years as a Senior Reservoir Engineer Advisor.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The petroleum geologist and engineer must have a working knowledge of petrophysics in order to find oil reservoirs, devise the best plan for getting it out of the ground, then start drilling. This book offers the engineer and geologist a manual to accomplish these goals, providing much-needed calculations and formulas on fluid flow, rock properties, and many other topics that are encountered every day. New updated material covers topics that have emerged in the petrochemical industry since 1997.

* Contains information and calculations that the engineer or geologist must use in daily activities to find oil and devise a plan to get it out of the ground
* Filled with problems and solutions, perfect for use in undergraduate, graduate, or professional courses
* Covers real-life problems and cases for the practicing engineer
