Sommario/riassunto

"No other dancer ever looked like Paul Taylor, that strapping, elastic, goofy hunk of a guy, and no one else's dance works look like his either-not the deep, dark ones or the zany ones or the uplifting ones. His vocabulary, his tone are unique and unmistakable. The same thing is true, it turns out, about his writing. His style is utterly his own, and like all real style it isn't a calculated voice but a reflection of the way his quirky mind works." -From the foreword by Robert Gottlieb    "Taylor has not cultivated one writing persona, but has unleashed a raft of voices in a raft of forms: tra

Basic law of percolation -- Steady state percolation of single-phase incompressible fluid -- Interference theory of wells under rigid water drive -- Unsteady state percolation of slightly compressible fluid -- Percolation law of natural gas -- Foundation of water/oil displacement theory -- Percolation theory of oil-gas two phases (dissovled gas drive) -- Percolation in dual-media -- Percolation of non-Newtonian liquid -- Theory of similarity.

Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses various aspects of percolation mechanics. It starts with the driving forces and driving modes and then examines in detail the steady state percolation of single-phase incompressible fluids, percolation law of natural gas and percolation of non-Newtonian fluids. Progressing from simple to complex concepts, it also analyzes Darcy’s law, providing a basis for the study of reservoir engineering, oil recovery engineering and reservoir numerical simulation. It serves as a textbook for undergraduate students majoring in petroleum engineering, petroleum geology and groundwater engineering, and offers a valuable reference guide for graduate students, researchers and technical engineers engaged in oil and gas exploration and



development.
