However, the \"formation tester\" offered in wireline and MWD\/LWD operations is different. It collects actual downhole fluid samples for surface analysis, and through pressure transient analysis, provides direct measurements for pore pressure, mobility, permeability, and anisotropy. These are vital to real-time drilling safety, geosteering, hydraulic fracturing, and economic analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMethods for formation testing analysis, while commercially important and accounting for a substantial part of service company profits, are shrouded in secrecy. Many are poorly constructed, and because details are not available, industry researchers are not able to improve on them. \u003ci\u003eFormation Testing\u003c\/i\u003e explains conventional models and develops new, more powerful algorithms for early-time analysis. More importantly, it addresses a critical area in sampling related to \"time required to pump clean samples,\" using rigorous multiphase flow techniques. All of the methods are explained in complete detail. Equations are offered for users to incorporate in their own models, but, for those needing immediate answers, convenient, easy-to-use software is available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lead author is a well-known petrophysicist with hands-on experience at Schlumberger, Halliburton, BP Exploration, and other companies. His work is used commercially at major oil service companies, and important extensions to his formation testing models have been supported by prestigious grants from the U.S. Department of Energy. His latest collaboration with China National Offshore Oil Corporation marks an important turning point, where advanced simulation models and hardware are evolving side-by-side, defining a new generation of formation testing logging instruments. Providing more than formulations and solutions, this book offers a close look at \"behind the scenes\" formation tester development, as the China National Offshore Oil Corporation opens up its research, engineering, and manufacturing facilities through a collection of never-before-seen photographs, showing how formation testing tools are developed from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis groundbreaking new volume: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelops key reservoir analysis methods for wireline and LWD forward and inverse modeling, including algorithms, validations, examples, and modeling software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes new pressure transient and multiphase contamination models for analysis and job planning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers low permeability and heavy oil reservoirs using early time data, despite high flowline storage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs the only book on the subject for modern methods used at leading service companies, with research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, China National Offshore Oil Corporation, and other companies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45091332522135,"sku":"9781118831137","price":15390.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781118831137.webp?v=1769204227","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/formation-testing-pressure-transient-and-contamination-analysis-9781118831137","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
