Petroleum Reservoir Simulation
by Khalid Aziz and Antonín Settari

This book was first published in 1979. Although most of the work was completed by 1977, the material remains relevant today. After going through five printings and several publishers (Applied Science, Elsevier Applied Science and Chapman & Hall), the book went out of print in 1996. In 2002 we acquired the copyright and published the book ourselves as a paperback edition, without any changes from the last hardback printing. This e-book edition and the PDF version are intended to make the book widely and freely available. The current version has been reviewed and corrected for errors as well as for consistency in the use of variables and fonts, both in text and equations.

Much progress has been made since the original publication, but the fundamental concepts remain the same. Since our original focus was on the underlying fundamentals, the book continues to be valuable for students and practicing engineers. In addition, it provides a historical perspective of the developments in the field of reservoir simulation from 1970’s. Reservoir Simulation discipline has broadened in the scope of physics represented, numerical techniques and progress in underlying computing science.

We hope that this widely cited book will continue to serve its original purpose.
