This book gives you step by step explanations for the basics of petroleum reservoir engineering.

I am using the second edition to help with my understanding of viscosity, permeability, compressibility, PV diagrams and other calculations.

The book is titled "An introduction". However, the detail in the book is at an intermediate level. You need to have at least some basic scientific and mathematical knowledge to make the best of this book. As an example, it is clearly a level above Dr Hyne's Nontechnical Guide to Petroleum Geology.

The book does not go into great background detail and is more focused on calculations and examples of how they are derived and applied. If this is what you want this book for (as it was for me), it does a great job.

It has an exemplary index that is very useful in finding exactly what you are looking for.

This is definitely a very important book to have for people that study/work in the Petroleum industry.

working in a research institute specialized in oil industry, i find this book always a reference.. and though i have read it, studied it several times.. it keeps on capturing me and helping me. i highly recommend this book, it s amust have for a petroleum engineer.

This is a very good reference to have at hand. I am a petrophysicist and reading this book has allowed me to do a number of my computation much more accurately.

This book is fairly well written, with examples that pertain to the exercises at the end of each chapter. It includes an appendix, well equipped with relevant graphs and charts. The only flaw would be that they tend to pull numbers out of nowhere in examples, without showing where they came from. Overall, this book was more effective than the professor who taught the class. A good buy for all little petroleum engineers.

Everything is great. Shipping is fast. Book is brand new although it was not wrapped in plastic.

Great deal on the book! I was able to save a lot of money with this purchase. It was exactly the book I needed.
