Books in the Handbook of Petroleum Exploration & Production series

Reviews the condition of the British economy and the status of offshore technology prior to the arrival of the oil and gas industry in the North Sea. This title examines the reactions to this large industry of both the private sector and of government, including the formation, functions and operations of the Offshore Supplies Office (OSO).

Well Testing is recognised by many operating oil and gas companies to be the most hazardous operation they routinely undertake. Therefore, it is of great importance that such operations are extremely well planned and executed. This handbook covers the major 'Operational Aspects of Oil and Gas Well Testing'.

Geostatistics is a common tool in reservoir characterization. Written from the basics of statistics, this book covers only those topics that are needed for the two goals of the text: to exhibit the diagnostic potential of statistics and to introduce the important features of statistical modelling.

Explains well test analysis and the use of advanced interpretation models. This book contains chapters such as: Principles of Transient Testing, Analysis Methods, Wellbore Conditions, Effect of Reservoir Heterogeneities on Well Responses, Effect of Reservoir Boundaries on Well Responses, Multiple Well Testing, and Application to Gas Reservoirs.

Linking deep-water process sedimentology with sandstone petroleum reservoirs, this book offers a process interpretation based on 35 case studies (which include 32 petroleum reservoirs), carried out during 1974-2004. It addresses the criteria for recognizing deposits of gravity-driven, thermohaline-driven, wind-driven, and tide-driven processes.

Presents a symbiosis of a brief description of physical fundamentals of rock properties (based on typical experimental results and relevant theories and models) with a guide for practical use of different theoretical concepts. This title also presents the problem of relationships between petrophysical parameters based on various model concepts.
