Synopsis

This best-selling volume, written by experienced simulation users, was designed to help demystify the what's and whys of designing, editing, and analyzing reservoir simulations. A must-have handbook for anyone involved in reservoir simulation, Reservoir Simulation will help the reader decide when and how to use simulation for forecasting performance. Appendices discuss hand-calculation methods that can be used to check simulation answers, the mathematics of simulation, and regression techniques useful in the history of a reservoir model.

About the Author

Calvin Mattax attended the University of Tulsa on the G.I. Bill and graduated in 1950, with a BS in Chemistry. He continued his studies at Louisiana State University earning a MS (1952), a PhD (1954) in Chemistry, and being inducted into Sigma Xi, the national scientific research society. After receiving his PhD, Dr. Mattax joined Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and, in 1955, moved to Tulsa with Carter Oil. In 1963, he moved to Bordeaux, France, to set up a service lab to conduct research in core analysis. In 1965, Carter Oil merged with Humble Oil, consolidating research and exploration facilities into what was then known as Exxon Production Research (EPR) Houston, Texas. At EPR, as Division Manager of the Reservoir Division, Mattax traveled extensively in the Middle East Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran consulting and advising on oil exploration in these countries. Mattax established the Calvin. C. Mattax Professorship for graduate students in Chemistry at LSU.
