Synopsis

Geophysics for Petroleum Engineers focuses on the applications of geophysics in addressing petroleum engineering problems. It explores the complementary features of geophysical techniques in better understanding, characterizing, producing and monitoring reservoirs.This book introduces engineers to geophysical methods so that they can communicate with geophysicist colleagues and appreciate the benefits of their work. These chapters describe fundamentals of geophysical techniques, their physical bases, their applications and limitations, as well as possible pitfalls in their misuse. Case study examples illustrate the integration of geophysical data with various other data types for predicting and describing reservoir rocks and fluid properties. The examples come from all over the world, with several case histories from the fields in the Middle East.

  • Introduces geophysical methods to engineers
  • Helps understanding, characterizing, producing and monitoring of geophysical techniques
  • Updates the changing needs of reservoir engineering

Review

Enables communication among reservoir, drilling, and production engineers and geophysicists, geologists, and petrophysicists

Synopsis

This book focuses on the applications of geophysics in addressing petroleum engineering problems. It explores the complementary features of geophysical techniques in better understanding, characterizing, producing and monitoring of the reservoirs. The objective of this book is to introduce the engineers to geophysical methods so that they can communicate their needs to, and appreciate the full benefits of the results they receive from, the geophysicists with whom they work. Fundamentals of geophysical techniques, their physical basis, their applications and limitations as well as possible pitfalls in their mis-use are described. Case study examples are presented to illustrate the integration of geophysical data and various other data types for predicting and describing reservoir rocks and fluid properties. The examples are from different parts of the world, with a larger number of case histories from the fields in the Middle East.
