Customer Reviews

Great book to find all basic topics on reservoir engineering, September 21, 2002
Reviewer: FATIH CAN from Istanbul Turkey
I've seen that all topics on reservoir engineering have been covered in sufficient detail and very systematically. I strongly reccommed the book to those looking for a starting book on reservoir engineering and to those who, after a while, got lost among SPE papers and specialized books to come back to the backbone of the issue.
