Principles of Applied Reservoir Simulation, Second Editionby John R. Fanchi Hardcover: 355 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.98 x 9.24 x 6.40 Publisher: Gulf Professional Publishing Company; ; 2nd edition (March 15, 2001) ISBN: 088415372X Check price @ amazon.com , amazon.ca , amazon.co.uk Book Description: Accompanied by a CD that offers a fully functioning reservoir simulator Principles of Applied Reservoir Simulation and its accompanying CD offer users a fully functioning reservoir simulator. Together, the book and CD provide a hands-on introduction to the process of reservoir modeling and show how to apply reservoir simulation technology and principles. From the Publisher: The book begins with a reservoir engineering primer that makes information accessible to geologists, geophysicists, and hydrologists, and serves as a review for petroleum engineers. The second part of the volume, covering modeling principles, has been substantially revised and updated since the first edition.The simulator, WINBD4, is a version of the first edition's BOAST4D flow simulator, modified for use in a Windows operating environment with a dynamic memory management system that expands the applicability of the program. It also includes a visualization feature that provides a 3D perspective of the reservoir. About the Author: John R. Fanchi is a Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. He has worked in the technology centers of three major oil companies (Marathon, Cities Service and Getty), and served as an international consultant. His oil and gas industry responsibilities have revolved around reservoir modeling, both in the areas of simulator development and practical reservoir management applications. Dr. Fanchi's publications include software systems for the U.S. Department of Energy and numerous articles. He is the author of four books, including Integrated Flow Modeling, Math Refresher for Scientists and Engineers, and Parametrized Relativistic Quantum Theory. He has a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Houston. Customer Reviews Perfect Pair, July 23, 2000 Reviewer: LRichardson from California The software that comes with this book couples perfectly with Stanford's GSLIB (geostatistical software). Worth the money. Excellent Overview, November 10, 1998 Reviewer: John Brinks (John_Brinks@msn.com) from Golden, Colorado This book is an excellent overview on said topic. Clean, concise, and practical, it's often referenced. |
