Wireline Formation Testing - Kuchuk, Fikri J

. .

Résumé :
Wireline Formation Testing provides a comprehensive exploration of this modeling through use of hardware, advanced formation testing modules, and new interpretation techniques. Exposition of these analytical models, systematic inclusion of mixed boundary value problems, first-principle-based pressure gradient interpretation, probabilistic enumeration of radius of investigation, and system identification methods appeal to various levels of engineering expertise. This book provides a resource to experienced engineers who wish to evaluate reservoirs simultaneously with the scope of the testing results, as well as to universities that wish to provide students with this understanding through undergraduate and applied graduate courses.

Biographie:
Fikri J. Kuchuk, emeritus geoscientist fellow, retired from Schlumberger after 35 years as fellow and chief reservoir engineer in the USA, France, and the Middle East. He holds 45 years of experience in reservoir characterization and engineering, particularly in pressure transient formation and well testing. From 1988 to 1994, Kuchuk was a consulting professor in the petroleum engineering department of Stanford University, where he taught Advanced Well Testing. Kuchuk is a distinguished and honorary member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, from which he has received the following: 1994 Reservoir Engineering Award, 2000 Formation Evaluation Award, and 2001 Regional Service Award. In 2010, he received an honorary membership to SPE. Kuchuk is also a member of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, and the American National Academy of Engineering. He is a two-time recipient of the Henri G. Doll award.
