Petroleum resources continue to be the main source of
energy in todays civilization. It is important to
predict petroleum production accurately in order to
plan long-term energy management. Currently used
predictive tools are inadequate for capturing the
science of petroleum production. This book makes
important fundamental advancement in modeling complex
phenomena that are currently neglected or are added
to the predictive tool with unjustified
simplification. Various mathematical models that are
used for characterizing phenomena, ranging from
drilling to reservoir engineering, are...
