Petroleum Engineering: Principles, Calculations and Workflows cover principles, calculations and workflows for solving a wide range of petroleum engineering problems using different approaches. Solution workflows are typically created that improve calculations and repeatability, produce improved reliable models and accurate parameters. Each chapter in this volume deals with a specific petroleum engineering problem or characterization method, important formulae that helps explain the primary principle of the petroleum engineering problem, and application of each formulae which is based on underlying formulation and/or assumptions. This volume also covers what formulae or model should be used for diagnosis, initial modelling of parameters and for simulation and regression.
Volume highlights include -
- A robust approach to solving inverse problems which require workflows with model validation (for model based predictions) and parameter validation
- Complex calculations that can easily be implemented with simple but accurate methods using spreadsheets, with a very few requiring VBA (where VBA has been used, sample codes are provide to guide implementation)
- Simple but accurate approaches to solving some complex, mathematical problems that may be required for software and application development
- Fundamental to advanced level calculations that makes the proposed volume a one-stop-solution reference material for solving practical petroleum engineering problems
Principles, Calculations and Workflows in Petroleum Engineering is a valuable resource to a wide community of geoscientists, earth scientists, exploration geologists and engineers, including graduates and postgraduate students who want to understand direct application of petroleum engineering principles in solving real life petroleum engineering problems; consultants who want to solve problems with high degree of accuracy and reduced uncertainty, software developers who want to understand how best to code and implement workflows for specific and general petroleum engineering softwares, and professionals as reference material for day-to-day petroleum engineering problem solving.
