One of the fundamental aspects of petroleum exploitation and
production is that of petroleum engineering, ie the assessment and
recovery of oil from the various types of oil 'reservoirs'. The
importance of effective petroleum engineering has increased
dramatically due to a number or of varying reasons. Firstly,
recoverable oil reserves should be capable of extended life by
application of efficient reservoir depletion methods. Secondly, the
average recovery factor does not appear to have increased over the
last three decades. Thirdly, the behaviour of reservoirs is still
unpredictable in spite of the fact that the principles of oil
recovery are better understood. Finally, there has been an enormous
growth in the number of computer-based analysis techniques
available to the engineer. These factors, taken in conjunction with
the fact that many developments have been presented as unpublished
papers, have highlighted the need for a series of volumes which
will give the engineer a starting point for the collection of
up-to-date information. This new series of volumes, Developments in
Petroleum Engineering, is intended to fill this gap and will
contain reviews of recent developments. The chapters are written by
specialists at a level which summarises the progress, but does not
necessarily cover every facet and detail, of a particular subject.
Rather, they direct the reader to the most useful of the original
sources.
