Petroleum Engineering: Principles and Practice

Description of Petroleum Engineering: Principles and Practice

This volume provides the technical basis for the exploitation of petroleum fluids in subsurface sedimentary rock reservoirs. The material is largely based on the authors' experience

The need for this book has arisen from demand for a current text from our students in Petroleum Engineering at Imperial College and from post-experience Short Course students, and the material of this book will be of more general use to practising petroleum engineers and those wishing for aa introduction into the specialist literature.
