Unlike most publications which specialize in the physics aspects, this combination classroom text and professional reference concentrates on the geological side to the study of oil reservoirs and aquifers. Practitioners Pellerin and Zinszner begin by describing the various petrophysical properties of rocks and their relation with petrology, including the porosity and mineralogy of their solid phase and compressibility, and capillary pressure in case of perfect wettability. They describe fluid recovery and modeling in terms of dynamic properties including intrinsic permeability, wettability of reservoir rocks, relative permeability and endpoints. They conclude this extended section by discussing log and geophysical analysis, including electrical properties, seismic properties, and petrophysical applications of nuclear magnetic resonance. In the second section describes scale changes and characterization of porous media in terms of methods and techniques including measurement representative S and reservoir characterization, and porous network observation techniques.
