This book is written to modernize and bring up-to-date petroleum reservoir engineering for college students. It is designed to prepare graduates to play an active and important role throughout the reservoir life cycle in the various phases of the reservoir management process with fellow geoscientists as members of the asset team.

The book is designed to aid students and professionals alike in playing an active and important role throughout the reservoir life cycle in the various phases of the reservoir management process with fellow geoscientists and others as asset team members in the project.

The book is not just a usual college textbook, but a modern and very practical guide with reservoir engineering fundamentals, advanced reservoir-related topics, and reservoir simulation fundamentals, problems, and case studies from around the world.
The authors bring their lifelong experience and expertise in reservoir engineering and simulation techniques and practice.
Throughout the book, class exercises are designed to encourage the students to review published literature in order to learn about how real-life reservoirs are managed effectively.
