All too often, senior reservoir managers have found that their junior staff lack an adequate understanding of reservoir management techniques and best practices needed to optimize the development of oil and gas fields. Written by an expert professional/educator, Integrated Reservoir Asset Management introduces the reader to the processes and modeling paradigms needed to develop the skills to increase reservoir output and profitability and decrease guesswork. One of the only references to recognize the technical diversity of modern reservoir management teams, Fanchi seamlessly brings together concepts and terminology, creating an interdisciplinary approach for solving everyday problems. The book starts with an overview of reservoir management, fluids, geological principles used to characterization, and two key reservoir parameters (porosity and permeability). This is followed by an uncomplicated review of multi-phase fluid flow equations, an overview of the reservoir flow modeling process and fluid displacement concepts. All exercises and case studies are based on the authors 30 years of experience and appear at the conclusion of each chapter with hints in addition of full solutions. In addition, the book will be accompanied by a website featuring supplementary case studies and modeling exercises which is supported by an author generated computer program. - Straightforward methods for characterizing subsurface environments - Effortlessly gain and understanding of rock-fluid interaction relationships - An uncomplicated overview of both engineering and scientific processes - Exercises at the end of each chapter to demonstrate correct application - Modeling tools and additional exercise are included on a companion website

Waterflooding is one of the most important methods of improving recovery from oil reservoirs. With the economic uncertainty of various enhanced oil recovery techniques (due to oil price instability) waterflooding optimization is more significant than ever. This book provides a thorough understanding of the practical approach to waterflood asset management. It uses multidisciplinary integrated teams and resource management practices to enhance hydrocarbon recovery and maximize profitability. Satter and Thakur are co-authors of PennWell Books' bestseller, Integrated Reservoir Management: A Team Approach. Readers Will Learn: the fundamentals of waterflood management and multidisciplinary technology; the team approach to management through real-life examples; and the integration of engineering, geology and geophysics with operations, research, economics, and legal/environmental processes for effective waterflood asset management.

This Handbook provides solutions to the fundamental issues associated with wells and reservoirs experiencing sanding problems, especially in deepwater environments. Sand Management is a massive challenge for the petroleum industry as it extends its exploration activities to new frontiers. Challenging ultra deepwater, High Pressure-High Temperature (HP-HT) and Arctic environments require engineers to drill more complex wells and manage more complex reservoirs, the majority of which are prone to massive sand production. Covering such fundamentals as how to maximize individual wells and field development performance, as well as how to minimize operational cost, non-productive time and guarantee flow assurance across the entire composite production system from reservoirs through the wellbore to the topside and flow lines, this handbook explains that the biggest challenge facing operators is the shortage of sand management personnel and helps companies realize the value of their assets. - Reference for knowledge transfer and skills development in sand management for effective flow assurance - Emphasis on HP-HT and deepwater environments - Meets the needs of new and practising engineers alike as well as non-technical personnel supporting the offshore industry

Annotation The goal of this book is to highlight the difference between an integrated reservoir study and a traditional one. The benefits of integrated studies are outlined, and consider its implications for everyday working conditions. Technical and professional challenges are discussed and necessary changes are detailed, with emphasis on the role of the project leader. Chapters consider elements like the integrated database, the integrated geological model, rock properties, hydrocarbon in place determination, reservoir engineering, numerical reservoir simulation, and planning for a study. Cosentino is a reservoir engineer and project manager for a private firm. c. Book News Inc.
