Chapter 5 Reservoir Geophysics

Some Basic Concepts

V.P. Dimri, R.P. Srivastava, Nimisha Vedanti

Abstract

Reservoir geophysics plays an important role to bridge the two important disciplines of science, viz., geophysics and reservoir engineering. In the current scenario, these two fields are so intertwined that anyone involved in exploration and exploitation of natural hydrocarbons needs to understand the basic concepts of geophysics and reservoir engineering. This chapter is aimed at providing a brief overview of hydrocarbon reservoirs and the properties of the rocks and fluids associated with such ...
