Well Productivity Handbook : Vertical, Fractured, Horizontal, Multilateral, and Intelligent Wells

"Reservoir simulation is a must-have for planning oil and gas field development wells in the petroleum industry. With rapid changes in field development methods being created over the past few decades, there is a growing need for more information regarding energizing well production. Written by the world's most respected petroleum engineering authors, Well Productivity Handbook provides updated knowledge for modeling oil and gas production wells with simple and complex trajectories. Illustrating crucial engineering principles used, this handbook explains various fundamental topics such as: petroleum fluid properties; reservoir deliverability; wellbore flow performance; and productivity of intelligent well systems." "Perfect for the petroleum student as well as the reservoir and production engineer, this handbook explains real-world applications illustrated with example problems. Computer programs are also provided in a complimentary CD, easy to use by engineers of all levels."--BOOK JACKET.
