Python Worked Examples and Problems of Worldwide Reservoir Engineering Textbooks

SPE Textbook Vol. 8 Fundamental Principles of Reservoir Engineering by Brian F. Towler

Original copy of this book can be purchased from SPE Bookstore

All examples and problems from the book are worked on Python language.

The book contains 14 units and 1 Appendix. In this repo, each unit has 3 folders:

data: compilation of data in CSV tables for examples and problems
functions: compilation of functions from the Equations in the book to execute certain purposed calculations
notebooks: Jupyter notebooks of worked examples and practice problems

External Tools that I Use

Online OCR: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) online to convert paper Tables from the book (printed) to a digital Excel spreadsheet
Microsoft Excel: to save the digitized Table as a CSV format

Friends who Helped Completing the Missing Puzzles

Thanks ... for ...

Mark Burgoyne, (Principal Reservoir Engineer in Santos), helping with solution to solve numerically the transient flow problems (Chapter 5) based on Klins et al (1988) SPE-15433-PA paper. The code to calculate the aquifer flow here. Mark's Monograph-20-Examples repo has inspired me to create this repo.
