Petrophysics: Theory and Practice of Measuring Reservoir Rock and Fluid Transport Properties

Petrophysics: Theory and Practice of Measuring Reservoir Rock and Fluid Transport Properties, Fourth Edition provides users with tactics that will help them understand rock-fluid interaction, a fundamental step that is necessary for all reservoir engineers to grasp in order to achieve the highest reservoir performance. The book brings the most comprehensive coverage on the subject matter, and is the only training tool for all reservoir and production engineers entering the oil and gas industry. This latest edition is enhanced with new real-world case studies, the latest advances in reservoir characterization, and a new chapter covering unconventional oil and gas reservoirs, including coverage on production techniques, reservoir characteristics, and the petrophysical properties of tight gas sands from NMR logs. Strengthened with a new chapter on shale oil and gas, adding the latest technological advances in the field todayCovers topics relating to porous media, permeability, fluid saturation, well logs, Dykstra-Parson, capillary pressure, wettability, Darcy's law, Hooke's law, reservoir characterization, filter-cake, and moreUpdated with relevant practical case studies to enhance on the job trainingContinues its longstanding, 20-year history as the leading book on petrophysics INDICE: Preface About the Authors Acknowledgment Units Chapter 1: Mineral Constitutents of Rocks Chapter 2: Introduction to Petroleum Geology Chapter 3: Porosity and Permeability Chapter 4: Formation Resistivity and Water Saturation Chapter 5: Capillary Pressure Chapter 6: Wettability Chapter 7: Applications of Darcy's Law Chapter 8: Naturally Fractured Rocks Chapter 9: Effect of Stress on Reservoir Rock Properties Chapter 10: Reservoir Characterization Chapter 11: Fluid-Rock Interactions Chapter 12: Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs Appendix I: Measurement of Rock and Fluid Properties Appendix II: Fortran Computer Programs Index
