Sommario/riassunto: Written by three of the world's most renowned petroleum and environmental engineers, Probability in Petroleumand Environmental Engineering is the first book to offer the practicing engineer and engineering student newcutting-edge techniques for prediction and forecasting in petroleum engineering and environmental management.The authors combine a rigorous, yet easy-to-understand, approach to probability and how it is applied topetroleum and environmental engineering to solve multiple problems that engineers or geologists face every day.
