Multiprobe Pressure Testing and Reservoir Characterization: Pressure Transient, Contamination, Liquid and Gas Pumping Analysis provides much-needed three-dimensional, pressure transient simulators for job planning and data interpretation in well logging. First, discussions on fundamental concepts present fluid sampling, pressure transient and contamination analysis; physical concepts and numerical approaches; and multiprobe model formulations and validations. Other sections cover four-probe algorithms including conventional, overbalanced, and underbalanced drilling applications. The final section addresses triple-probe algorithms, which includes coupled models for pressure and contamination convergence acceleration. Notably, Chapter 10 explains how the multiprobe tool’s focus on characterizing permeability will promote better use of the reservoir as well as assist with energy storage in underground rock, demonstrating how multiprobe tools also facilitate the energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable geothermal energy. The book's mathematical methods are described in a straightforward manner with numerous example calculations and applications demonstrating the practical utility of the approaches. This book is an invaluable reference for petroleum geologists and engineers involved in geothermal and conventional reservoir characterization and simulation.
