Petrophysics

This publication offers engineers and geologists a manual for calculations and formulae on fluid flow, rock properties, and many other topics that are encountered every day in locating oil reservoirs. The material has been fully revised and expanded to cover new topics in engineering and geology that have emerged since the first edition was published in 1996. The book reviews the origin, composition and geology of sedimentary rocks and their interstitial fluids and the important role they play in reservoir engineering. Chapters concentrate on the specific theories and mathematics of rock and fluid interactions, and the reader will find complete coverage of electrical, capillary pressure and fluid transport properties. Each chapter has references, problems and solutions at the end for further study or for use in the classroom.
