Worldwide Practical Petroleum Reservoir Engineering Methods, 2nd edition

Written as a self-teaching book, it provides the basic fundamentals and many of the useful practical reservoir engineering methods. It includes reservoirs that produce under steady-state conditions at much higher rates. You can be better prepared to solve reservoir engineering problems, in the U.S. and around the world. Problems are presented throughout the book to give you hands-on experience with various field calculations.

About the Author

Beginning in 1957, H.C. “Slip” Slider taught industry reservoir engineering courses at Ohio State University, Japan, Columbia, England, Peru, Trinidad, Tobago, Canada, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Angola.Professor Slider was a WWII pilot with many medals. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mining engineering from Ohio State University in 1949. In addition to his industry teaching experience, he served Texaco, Shell, Exxon, Schlumberger, Dow Chemical, Aramco, Caltex, DuPont, the U.S. Congress, and many other groups as a reservoir engineering consultant.
