Description: This third edition continues to provides a comprehensive study of reservoir stimulation from an all-encompassing engineering standpoint but has been completely rewritten to reflect the changing technologies in the industry. It sets forth a rationalisation of stimulation using reservoir engineering concepts, and addresses such topics as formation characterisation, hydraulic fracturing, matrix acidizing and chemical treatment. Formation damage which refers to a loss in reservoir productivity is also comprehensively examined.
This extensive reference work remains essential reading for petroleum industry professionals involved in the important activities of reservoir evaluation, development and management, who require invaluable skills in the application of the techniques described for the successful exploitation of oil and gas reservoirs.
Contributors to this volume are among the most recognized authorities in their individual technologies.
