Finding a new oil and gas discovery and evaluating
its volume is a difficult and challenging task, and yet
there is very little published on the topic. Luiz Amado
delivers a one-of-a-kind introductory guide titled
Reservoir Exploration and Appraisal. Providing
logistical instruction and processes for the entire
exploration and appraisal process, Amado furnishes the
guidance, workflow, and practical recommendations needed
based on real-world scenarios. Written by an engineer
with over 15 years of experience in the North Sea, Gulf
of Mexico, South America and West Africa, Reservoir
Exploration and Appraisal equips engineers and
economists with expert advice on critical subjects such
as detailed methods of estimating recovery factors,
creating production curves using either simple or
complex approaches, understanding main fluid and rock
properties that govern volume and productivity, and
communicating examples of field case evaluations,
including deepwater projects. It details methods of
estimating recovery factors and rules of thumb that can
be used if there is an absence of data. It shows how to
create production curves using either simple or complex
approaches. It helps i understanding main fluid and rock
properties that govern volume and productivity, saving
time from analyzing countless fluid samples or rock data
from cores. It describes the process of lease sales, bid
rounds and farm-in opportunities. It communicates
examples of field case evaluations, including deepwater
projects, to illustrate the steps covered in the book,
showing the reader the full project cycle.
