Integrated Waterflood Asset Management

Waterflooding is one of the most important methods of improving recovery from oil reservoirs -- with the uncertainty of the economic applicability of enhanced oil recovery techniques (as a result of oil price instability), optimization of waterflooding has become more significant than ever. Integrated Waterflood Asset Management will provide a better understanding of the practical approach to waterflood asset management using multidisciplinary integrated teams, and better resource management practices enhancing hydrocarbon recovery and maximizing profitability. Readers will learn the fundamentals of waterflood management and usage of multidisciplinary technology. The team management approach is examined through real-life examples covering aspects from engineering and geophysics to research, economics, and legal/environmental issues.

Dr. Abdus Satter is the president of Satter and Associates, which was formed in Houston upon his retirement from Texaco as Senior Research Consultant. He has four decades of worldwide, diversified experience and expertise in reservoir engineering, reservoir simulator development and applications, water flood, enhanced recovery techniques and reservoir studies and operations. He has numerous publications in these areas. He has been involved in reservoir management projects in the US, UK, Cameroon, Denmark, Indonesia, Nigeria, Trinidad, and others.
In addition to his PennWell Publishing Company book on Computer-Assisted Reservoir Management (2000), he wrote Integrated Petroleum Reservoir Management (1994), and Integrated Water flood Asset Management (1998) books. PennWell Books is publishing his book on Practical and Enhanced Reservoir Engineering: Assisted with Simulation Software.Throughout his career he has been very active in technology transfer, teaching and training. He was responsible for developing and managing Texaco's successful Integrated Reservoir Management Training Program, drawing industry and academic attention..

He was a 1996-97 SPE Distinguished Lecturer on Integrated Reservoir Management. He is again a 2002-03 SPE Distinguished Lecturer on Asset Management throughout the Reservoir Life Cycle. He is an SPE Distinguished Member. He holds a BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Dhaka, PE, and MS degrees in Petroleum Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines and a PhD degree in Engineering Science from the University of Oklahoma.
