This second edition of Advanced Petroleum Reservoir Simulation: Towards Developing Reservoir Emulators, authored by M. R. Islam, builds upon the original volume with significant new innovations that are revolutionizing processes and methods used in petroleum reservoir simulations. Released on July 18, 2016, by Wiley-Scrivener, this book adds value through its comprehensive coverage of recent advancements driven by shale drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and underbalanced drilling.

Renowned for their pioneering work, Dr. Islam and his team have been at the forefront of these important changes in the oil and gas industry. The text clarifies the underlying mathematics and physics behind reservoir simulation, making it accessible to a wide range of professionals and students. It offers robust tools for engineers and managers to back up reservoir simulation predictions with real science, enabling risk analysis based on knowledge rather than guesswork.

The book stands out by providing complete access to 3D, 3-phase reservoir simulation software that complements the text. This feature sets it apart from other resources in the field, offering readers a unique and practical advantage. Essential for any reservoir engineer or petroleum engineer working upstream—whether in exploration, drilling, or production—it is also an invaluable textbook for advanced students and graduate students in petroleum or chemical engineering departments.

A must-have resource, this edition promises to enhance understanding and proficiency in the complex domain of petroleum reservoir simulation.
