À propos de cet ebook

Develop, build, and deploy accurate mathematical models for hydrocarbon reservoirsThis practical resource discusses the construction of reservoir models and the implementation of these models in both forward and inverse modes using numerical, analytical, empirical, and artificial intelligence techniques. Written by a pair of experts in the field, Reservoir Engineering Models: Analytical and Numerical Approaches clearly explains the complicated building processes of mathematical models and lays out cutting-edge solution protocols. Advanced chapters teach the assembly of complex physical processes using principles of physics, thermodynamics and mathematics. You will learn to optimize decision-making processes applicable to the management of field development and extraction activities. Coverage includes:•An introduction to reservoir engineering models•Mathematics of reservoir engineering•Reservoir engineering fundamentals•Hydrocarbon fluid models and thermodynamics•Reservoir engineering transport equations•Analytical and numerical reservoir engineering solutions•Proxy and hybrid models in reservoir engineering
