In this highly anticipated volume, the world-renowned authors take a basic approach to present theprinciples of petroleum reservoir simulation in an easy-to-use and accessible format. Applicable toany oil and gas recovery method, this book uses a block-centered grid and a point-distributed grid.It treats various boundary conditions as fictitious wells, gives algebraic equations for their flowratesand presents an elaborate treatment of radial grid for single-well simulation to analyze well test resultsand to create well pseudo-functions necessary in conducting a practical reservoir simulation study.This book is accompanied by a CD that includes a single-phase simulator, a user's manual, dataand output files for four solved problems. The easy-to-use simulator allows students, readers andeducators to input new problems and get their solutions.
