Fundamentals of Reservoir Engineering (Volume 8) (Developments in Petroleum Science, Volume 8) by L.P. Dake

“This book is fast becoming the standard text in its field”, wrote a reviewer in the Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology soon after the first appearance of Dake’s book. This prediction quickly came true: it has become the standard text and has been reprinted many times. The author’s aim – to provide students and teachers with a coherent account of the basic physics of reservoir engineering – has been most successfully achieved. No prior knowledge of reservoir engineering is necessary. The material is dealt with in a concise, unified and applied manner, and only the simplest and most straightforward mathematical techniques are used.
