Petroleum Reservoir Simulation (2nd Ed.) The Engineering Approach
Auteurs : Abou-Kassem J.H., Islam M. Rafiqul, Farouq-Ali S.M.
Petroleum Reservoir Simulation, Second Edition, introduces this novel engineering approach for petroleum reservoir modeling and operations simulations. Updated with new exercises, a new glossary and a new chapter on how to create the data to run a simulation, this comprehensive reference presents step-by-step numerical procedures in an easy to understand format. Packed with practical examples and guidelines, this updated edition continues to deliver an essential tool for all petroleum and reservoir engineers.
