Applied Petroleum Reservoir Engineering

Applied Petroleum Reservoir Engineering, 3rd Edition, updates Craft and Hawkins' introduction to reservoir engineering for students and practitioners. The textbook reviews the history of the discipline, clarifies core terminology, and establishes the material balance approach.

Coverage examines fluid flow, water influx, and advanced recovery techniques, including hydrofracturing, water flooding, and enhanced oil recovery. Field examples demonstrate how to combine material balance and history matching to evaluate reservoir behavior.

The 2015 edition integrates Microsoft Excel with VBA into calculation workflows and provides practice exercises built around actual well data.
