Reservoir Engineering

By Ryan Phlean

Understanding a reservoir means connecting rock properties, fluid behavior, production data, and recovery strategy into one coherent picture.

Reservoir Engineering gives you a structured foundation for analyzing petroleum reservoirs and understanding how engineering decisions influence field performance. Written for petroleum engineering students, early-career engineers, geoscientists, and technical professionals, it moves logically from essential principles to field-development and reservoir-management concepts.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Interpret porosity, permeability, saturation, wettability, capillary pressure, and relative permeabilityUnderstand crude-oil, natural-gas, and formation-water PVT behaviorEstimate hydrocarbons in place and evaluate reserves and recovery factorsApply material-balance concepts to oil and gas reservoirsAnalyze drive mechanisms, pressure-transient behavior, and well deliverabilityUse decline curves to forecast production and ultimate recoveryUnderstand waterflooding, gas injection, thermal recovery, and chemical EORExplore reservoir simulation, history matching, uncertainty analysis, economics, and integrated reservoir managementRecognize emerging applications in carbon storage, geothermal energy, and data-driven reservoir analysis

Thirty carefully organized chapters help you see how individual calculations fit into the larger reservoir-development process. Chapter summaries reinforce the central principles and make the book useful for both systematic learning and professional review.
