Series Statement: Unconventional reservoir engineering series

Content: Tight Oil Reservoirs: Characterization, Modeling, and Field Development, the latest release in the Unconventional Reservoir Engineering Series, delivers a full spectrum of reservoir engineering guidelines so that the engineer can focus on every stage of development specific to tight oil. Covering characterization, micro- and nano-scale modeling, drilling horizontally, completing hydraulic fracturing, and field development, each section includes case studies, practice exercises, and future references for even deeper understanding. Rounding out with coverage on field economics and remaining challenges, this book puts control in the engineer’s hands.
