The need for this book has arisen from demand for a current text
from our students in Petroleum Engineering at Imperial College and
from post-experience Short Course students. It is, however, hoped
that the material will also be of more general use to practising
petroleum engineers and those wishing for aa introduction into the
specialist literature. The book is arranged to provide both
background and overview into many facets of petroleum engineering,
particularly as practised in the offshore environments of North
West Europe. The material is largely based on the authors'
experience as teachers and consultants and is supplemented by
worked problems where they are believed to enhance understanding.
The authors would like to express their sincere thanks and
appreciation to all the people who have helped in the preparation
of this book by technical comment and discussion and by giving
permission to reproduce material. In particular we would like to
thank our present colleagues and students at Imperial College and
at ERC Energy Resource Consultants Ltd. for their stimulating
company, Jill and Janel for typing seemingly endless manuscripts;
Dan Smith at Graham and Trotman Ltd. for his perseverence and
optimism; and Lesley and Joan for believing that one day things
would return to normality. John S. Archer and Colin G. Wall 1986 ix
Foreword Petroleum engineering has developed as an area of study
only over the present century. It now provides the technical basis
for the exploitation of petroleum fluids in subsurface sedimentary
rock reservoirs.
