This book is about the technology of using fluid production or injection and pressure measurement signals from wellbores and relating those signals to the subsurface geology and subterranean reservoir properties. It is aimed at students of well-testing and practicing petroleum engineers or geoscience professionals for subsurface characterization and modeling.
The topics include the art and science of well-test analysis, pattern recognition of rate and pressure signals, and a quantitative approach for estimating important subsurface geological parameters for subsurface aquifers and reservoirs containing oil, gas, and geothermal resources. The book is also particularly of value as a guide to asset managers actively developing unconventional reservoirs and CCUS.
Dr. Iraj Ershaghi is the Omar B. Milligan Professor and Director of the Petroleum Engineering Program at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA. He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and an honorary member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the AIME. He has also served as the Executive Director of CiSoft and E-CET at USC Viterbi School of Engineering, He has conducted research and published many studies on the characterization of complex subterranean reservoirs.
