Petroleum Geoengineering

The impact of petrophysical heterogeneity at various scales on oil and gas recovery provides the focus for this book. Designed for geoscientists and engineers, it explores improved linkage among techniques used to describe and model reservoirs, with the ultimate objective of enabling technical staff members to maximize hydrocarbon recovery.

Petroleum Geoengineering: Integration of Static and Dynamic Models (SEG Distinguished Instructor Series No. 12) explores improved linkage among techniques used at various scales to describe and model petroleum reservoirs. The book, which accompanies the 2009 SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course, is designed for a broad range of geoscientists and engineers working in the petroleum industry. The ultimate objectives are to enable technical staff members to maximize the recovery of hydrocarbons. The impact of petrophysical heterogeneity at various scales on the recovery of oil and gas provides the focus for the book. The integrated nature of the book makes it suitable for people from all subsurface disciplines (geology, geophysics, petrophysics, geomodeling, and reservoir and petroleum engineering). Petroleum Geoengineering is also very appropriate for directing teams of subsurface staff members. (DISC on DVD, 758A, is also available.)
