Reservoir simulation : mathematical techniques in oil recovery

This book covers and expands upon material presented by the author at a CBMS-NSF Regional Conference during a ten-lecture series on multiphase flows in porous media and their simulation. It begins with an overview of classical reservoir engineering and basic reservoir simulation methods and then progresses through a discussion of types of flows - single-phase, two-phase, black oil (three-phase), single phase with multicomponents, compositional, and thermal.

The practical aspects of reservoir simulation, such as data gathering and analysis, selection of a simulation model, history matching, and reservoir performance prediction, are summarized.
