Applied Petroleum Reservoir Engineering Handbook

Reservoir engineering is where geology, fluid behavior, production history, and engineering judgment come together to answer the questions that drive field-development decisions: How much hydrocarbon is in place? How will the reservoir perform? And how much can realistically be recovered? Applied Petroleum Reservoir Engineering Handbook builds a practical foundation for answering those questions from the rock and fluid scale all the way to full-field development. Designed for engineering students, early-career petroleum professionals, and practicing engineers who need a rigorous refresher, this handbook connects theory directly to real reservoir-engineering workflows. Inside, you’ll learn how to: Evaluate porosity, permeability, saturation, wettability, and capillary pressure Understand oil, gas, and gas-condensate PVT and phase behavior Interpret core analysis, well logs, rock types, fluid contacts, and reservoir heterogeneity Calculate STOIIP and GIIP using volumetric and probabilistic methods Apply oil and gas material balance, including aquifer support and drive-mechanism diagnosis Analyze Darcy flow, multiphase flow, relative permeability, and Buckley-Leverett displacement Interpret pressure buildup, drawdown, interference, and other well-test data Forecast production using decline-curve and rate-transient concepts Evaluate waterflooding, gas injection, CO₂ flooding, chemical EOR, and thermal recovery Understand reservoir simulation, history matching, uncertainty, reserves classification, and field-development planning With 30 chapters across seven parts, worked numerical examples, practical equations, diagrams, and chapter summaries, the book is designed for structured learning as well as professional reference.
