The production geologist and the reservoir -- The geological scheme -- Flow geology -- Reservoir modeling and geostatistics -- Locating the remaining hydrocarbons -- Well planning -- Depositional environments and their flow characteristics.

Summary: "This book was written for students, new professionals in oil companies, and for anyone with an interest in reservoir geology. It explains the background to production geology in the context of oil field subsurface operations. It also gives practical guidelines as to how a production geologist can analyze the reservoir geology and fluid flow characteristics of an oil field with the aim of improving hydrocarbon recovery. Advice is given on how to search for the remaining oil volumes in a producing field, where these pockets are typically found, and then how to plan wells to target these volumes."--Publisher's description.
