Well productivity is one of primary concerns in
field development and provides the basis for field
development strategy.Petroleum engineers often
relate the productivity evaluation to the long-time
performance behavior of a well, that is, the
behavior during pseudo-steady state or steady state
flow. This book examines the production performance
of oil wells with constant flow rates in different
shapes of anisotropic reservoirs, a library of new
productivity equations is provided.
Wells may be located arbitrarily in an anisotropic
reservoir, several combinations of closed and/or...

Well productivity is one of primary concerns in field development and provides the basis for field development strategy. The primary focus of this book is to derive productivity formulae for oil wells in anisotropic reservoirs using straightforward mathematical techniques. Pressure transient analysis methods presented in this book are based on analytical solutions of the various forms of flow equation. It is the authors opinion that the distinct advantage of the analytical methods is in their simplicity and the ability to identify correctly the main physical features of a given ...

This book provides essential legal information on state secession in an innovative manner: unlike conventional approaches, which invariably focus on whether there is a right to secession, here the discussion centers on how secessionist conflicts can be effectively resolved.
