Fundamentals of reservoir engineering /

""This book is fast becoming the standard text in its field"", wrote a reviewer in the Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology soon after the first appearance of Dake's book. This prediction quickly came true: it has become the standard text and has been reprinted many time...
