Description
Dwayne Purvis, P.E.
Myths and Misunderstandings of Reservoir Engineering
Myths and Misunderstandings of Reservoir Engineering takes aim at some of the most common and intransigent fallacies, even among reservoir engineers. The wide-ranging discussion addresses concepts like drainage area maps and the concepts of depletion and interference and how they differ between millidarcy and nanodarcy reservoirs. It detours into tilted oil-water contacts before returning to the concepts of transient and boundary-dominated flow, the use of a constant b-factor, the utility of daily production data and how those relate to reserves categories. Armed with a better fundamental understanding of reservoir dynamics, engineers and the geologists who work with them are better able to interpret and predict future behaviors.
