Riassunto

Charged in the 1990s with solving some of petroleum engineering’s biggest problems that the industry deemed “unsolvable,” the authors of this innovative new volume solved those problems, not just using a well-published math model, but one optimized to run rapidly, the first time, every time.  This not only provides numerical output, but production curves and color pressure plots automatically.  And each in a single hour of desk time.

Using their Multisim software that is featured in this volume, secondary school students at the Aldine Independent School District delivered professional quality simulations in a training program funded by some of the largest energy companies in the world.  Think what you, as a professional engineer, could do in your daily work.  Valuable with or without the software, this volume is the cutting-edge of reservoir engineering today, prefacing each chapter with a “trade journal summary” followed by hands-on details, allowing readers to replicate and extend results for their own applications. 

This volume covers Parent-Child, Multilateral Well and Fracture Flow Interactions, reservoir flow analysis, many other issues involving fluid flow, fracturing, and many other common “unsolvable” problems that engineers encounter every day.  It is a must-have for every engineer’s bookshelf.

Informazioni sull'autore

Wilson C. Chin, PhD, is an experienced petroleum engineer with over twenty books published by Wiley-Scrivener and other leading publishers and over a hundred articles published in scientific journals. He holds four dozen domestic and international patents and has received five major awards with the United States Department of Energy. Mr. Chin's interests include reservoir simulation, measurement while drilling, borehole electromagnetics, managed pressure drilling, formation testing, downhole vibrations, and drilling and cementing rheology.

Xiaoying Zhuang has almost a decade of experience in borehole rheology and reservoir fluid mechanics. From 2009 to 2011, she served as Co-Investigator for the United States Department of Energy in their sponsored research into well control, leading to a well-received book appearing in English and Chinese on the subject. "Jenny" has co-authored ten papers in her areas of technical interest.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Co-written by a world-renowned petroleum engineer, this breakthrough new volume teaches engineers how to configure, place and produce horizontal and multilateral wells in geologically complicated reservoirs, select optimal well spacings and fracture separations, and how to manage factors influencing well productivity using proven cost-effective and user-friendly simulation methods.

This volume covers parent-child, multilateral well, and fracture flow interactions, reservoir flow analysis, many other issues involving fluid flow, fracturing, and many other common "unsolvable" problems that engineers encounter every day. It is a must-have for every engineer's bookshelf.

This groundbreaking new volume:

• Presents simulation, explained in simple terms, focusing on strengths in present formulation and limitations behind industry models
• Introduces a reservoir simulator, developed in earlier books and used at multiple companies, incorporating "smart menus" for interactive computing requiring minimal training
• Goes through six challenging problems with complicated geologies and multilateral well systems defined and solved, each in one hour of "desk time," with integrated graphics producing production histories and 3D color pressure plots
• Covers pressure and rate constraints, how new wells may be added, existing wells shortened, lengthened or redirected during simulations, how multilaterals and fracture systems may assume arbitrary geometries, and many other issues that engineers face on a day-to-day basis
