Providing comprehensive coverage of the ky facets of petroleum production engineering, this volume synthesizes reservoir and well performance with an emphasis on wellbore flow considerations. Authors Michael, J. Economides. A. Daniel Hill, and Christine Ehlig-Economides merge their individual areas of expertise to offer readers a cohesive examination of the field of petroleum production engineering.
