Wireline formation testing and well deliverability (with CD-ROM)

Modern reservoir engineering must accommodate for a complex set of heterogeneous phases contained in the well and petroleum reservoir. Achieving the optimal solution to reservoir problems involves employing sophisticated simulation techniques, executing complex well-completion actions, and following up with constant attention to the changes within a reservoir. Renowned petroleum engineer George Stewart offers in-depth information in his latest book, Wireline Formation Evaluation and Well Deliverability. A companion to his recent book, Well Test Design and Analysis, this newest technical volume covers the widest range of possible issues for reservoir engineering. Stewart's exhaustive explanations include the nuances of radial flow theory, and examples of when to run production logs and when to well test for drawdown in a comingled reservoir.

Radial flow theory in porous media. Skin factor in fractured and perforated wells. Well inflow performance relations. Gas reservoir material balance. General mechanistic material balance. Coning and displacement models in the material balance context. Decline curve analysis. Distributed pressure measurement. Exploration of distributed pressure measurement. Field development applications of distributed pressure measurement. Production logging and layered reservoirs. On CD: Integration of data from wireline formation testers and other sources, Compartmentalized material balance, Multiphase well flow, Gas well deliverability, Effect of mud filtrate invasion on WFT profiles.
