Wireline Formation Testing and Well Deliverability

by George Stewart

Overview

Modern reservoir engineering must accommodate for a complex set of heterogeneous phases contained in the well and petroleum reservoir. Achieving the optimal solution to reservoir problems involves employing sophisticated simulation techniques, executing complex well-completion actions and following up with constant attention to the changes within a reservoir.  Renowned petroleum engineer George Stewart offers in-depth information in his latest book, Wireline Formation Testing and Well Deliverability. A companion to his recent book, Well Test Design & Analysis, this newest technical volume covers the widest range of possible issues for reservoir engineering. Stewart's exhaustive explanations include the nuances of radial flow theory, examples of when to run production logs, and to well testing for drawdown in a commingled reservoir.  The volume includes a CD containing chapters 13-17.
