IMPERIAL COLLEGE LECTURES IN PETROLEUM ENGINEERING, THE - VOLUME 5: FLUID FLOW IN POROUS MEDIAAuthor(s): Robert W Zimmerman\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: World Scientific Europe Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: World Scientific Europe Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781786344991, 978-1786344991\nSynopsis\nThis book presents, in a self-contained form, the equations of fluid flow in porous media, with a focus on topics and issues that are relevant to petroleum reservoir engineering. No prior knowledge of the field is assumed on the part of the reader, and particular care is given to careful mathematical and conceptual development of the governing equations, and solutions for important reservoir flow problems. Fluid Flow in Porous Media starts with a discussion of permeability and Darcy's law, then moves on to a careful derivation of the pressure diffusion equation. Solutions are developed and discussed for flow to a vertical well in an infinite reservoir, in reservoirs containing faults, in bounded reserv.
