Synopsis

Streamline Simulation: Theory and Practice provides a systematic exposition of current streamline simulation technology-its foundations, historical precedents, applications, field studies, and limitations. We emphasize the unique features of streamline technology that in many ways complement conventional finite-difference simulation. Part of our motivation in developing this textbook has been to fill gaps in the mathematical foundations and provide a rigorous presentation of streamline simulation technology that had not existed before.

About the Authors

Akhil Datta-Gupta is Professor and holder of the LeSuer Endowed Chair in Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University in Collect Station. He is well-known for his contributions to fast flow simulation methods and dynamic data integration into high-resolution geologic models. Datta-Gupta is a recipient of SPE's 2003 Lester C. Uren Award for significant technical contributions to petroleum reservoir characterization and streamline-based flow simulation. He is an SPE Distinguished Member, Distinguished Lecturer, and Distinguished Author, and twice received the SPE Cedric K. Ferguson Certificate for the best peer-approved paper. In addition to his SPE awards, Datta-Gupta is a recipient of the AIME Rossiter W. Raymond Award and has served on numerous technical and advisory committees for the industry and professional societies. He holds a BS degree from the Indian School of Mines and MS and PhD degrees in petroleum engineering from the University of Texas at Austin.

Michael J. King is a Senior Advisor and Discipline Technical Authority in Reservoir Performance Prediction with BP America. He is a project manager within the Advanced Reservoir Performance Prediction R&D program, where he is involved in global technology development and deployment. King has worked for BP both domestically and overseas since 1982 as a practicing reservoir engineer and in research and development. He has worked in fundamentals of flow in porous media, laboratory analysis, numerical methods, and reservoir characterization and is considered an authority in geologic modeling, upscaling, and streamline technology. King has been an SPE Distinguished Lecturer and has served on numerous SPE and industry committees. His original training was in theoretical physics and mathematics, and a BS degree from The Cooper Union and MS and PhD degree from Syracuse University.
