Well test interpretation, which is the process of obtaining information about a reservoir by analyzing the pressure transient response caused by a change in production rate, plays a very important part in making overall reservoir-management decisions. From the authors of Pressure Transient Testing and Well Testing, Spivey and Lee introduce the readers of Applied Well Test Interpretation to the fundamentals of this critical piece of decision-making by focusing on the most basic well testing scenario; a single-well test on a well producing a single-phase fluid, from a single-layer, homogeneous reservoir. #welltestinterpretation #reservoirmanagement #pressuretransientresponse #welltesting #singlewelltest #WeAreSPE #oilandgas #energybooks https://buff.ly/3zc0sFT

The aim of this book is to cover all aspects of petroleum exploration, development, and exploitation. It balances practical applications with theoretical insights, making it both accessible and comprehensive. The text provides in-depth coverage of exploration seismology and key geological elements related to exploration geology. It is richly illustrated and includes workshops to enhance understanding. Several appendices are provided to explain mathematical concepts, equations, and solutions to selected exercise questions. #petroleumexploration #seismology #explorationgeology #oilgasdevelopment #geologicalscience #oilandgas #energybooks https://buff.ly/3VYxyPm

Geostatistics is an increasingly important tool for developing an integrated reservoir description. Though Applied Geostatistics for Reservoir Characterization is written to illustrate the importance of geostatistics in improving the reservoir characterization process, it does not require any prior knowledge of statistics or advanced mathematics. Emphasis is placed on intuitive understanding of procedure rather than on mathematical details. Each chapter has an associated appendix in which additional mathematical details are provided. Several numerical and field examples, as well as a large number of illustrations, are provided to explain the strengths and weaknesses of different methods. #geostatistics #reservoir #oilandgas #WeAreSPE #energybooks https://buff.ly/3VEcnF6

A multidisciplinary approach to shale exploration. Managing shale resources demands a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, integrating geology, geophysics, rock physics, and rock mechanics specific to each reservoir. Equally critical are advanced seismic and microseismic processing technologies, which help professionals map hydrocarbon resources and identify the best production pathways. #shaleresources #rockmechanics #geophysics #seismicprocessing #hydrocarbonproduction #oilandgas #shale #energybooks https://buff.ly/3zv3Mdl
