The Physics of Reservoir Fluids: Discovery Through Downhole Fluid Analysis

Downhole fluid analysis (DFA) is a new, rapidly growing discipline in wireline logging and has become a keystone in reservoir evaluation.

DFA addresses the twin failed and overly optimistic assumptions that oil reservoirs consist of "one giant tank of one homogeneous hydrocarbon." DFA naturally finds compositional gradients and identifies compartments by simple new methods. Morevoer, DFA offers novel ways to establish reservoir connectivity with new data streams not previously encountered in reservoir reconnaissance.

Chapter 1, "The Distribution of Reservoir Fluids and Their Characterization by DFA," describes the evolving symbiotic understanding of reservoir complexities through DFA interpretation. DFA relies on bulk optical spectroscopy, a technology not previously used in the upstream oil business. Chapter 2, "The Photophysics of Reservoir Fluids: The Scientific Foundation of Optical DFA Measurements," establishes in broad context the scientific validity of DFA measurements.

Aquifer Storage and Recovery and Managed Aquifer Recharge Using Wells: Planning, Hydrogeology, Design, and Operation

Methods in Water Resources Evaluation: Book 2

Authors:

Robert G. Maliva, Thomas M. Missimer

Integrated management of water resources is required to assure a long-term supply of water for various uses throughout the world. Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) and other managed aquifer recharge (MAR) technologies are increasingly being used to meet peak demands, emergency supply (strategic storage), drought requirements, and a number of other storage needs. This book addresses the key issues of project planning, aquifer characterization, well design, system operation, and source-water quality and pretreatment. The lessons learned from existing ASR systems are presented to provide guidance for successful future implementation of the technologies.

This book is the second in the series Methods in Water Resources Evaluation. For information on the first book, please click here.

Table of contents
Overview of Aquifer Storage and Recovery
Project Development and Planning

How to Reference a Book

By Dennie Ho, eHow Contributor

I want to do this! What's This?

MLA style is typically used when referencing books.

A general rule of thumb for referencing a book is to list the author's name, followed by the year, book title, location of publication and the name of the publisher. The title should be underlined or in italics. More formally, however, there are two styles for citing references: APA (American Psychological Association) and MLA (Modern Language Association). The following steps will assist MLA style references for books, with sources below to both APA and MLA style guides.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Author(s) or editor(s)
• Title
• Edition, if indicated
• Place of publication
• Publisher
• Date of publication

1. 1

   Reference a book with the following elements in order: author(s) or editor(s), the complete title, edition (if indicated), place of publication, the shortened name of the publisher, date of publication. Underline the title. For example:
   
   Example: Dickory, Hick. How to Smoke Salami (underlined). 3rd ed. Princeton, NJ: Princeton Publisher, 1990.

2. 2

   Reference a book with two authors by using "and" and listing the second author with first name first and last name second. Example: Crumb, Susan, and Donald Crumbly. Worlds of Experience (underlined). New York, NY: Mom & Pop Publishing, 2004.

3. 3

   Reference a book with three authors by listing the first author traditionally (last name, first name), follow with second author's name, "and," then the last author. Make sure to list the second and third authors with first name first and last name second. Example: Lowe, Theo, Ben Green, and Howie Jackson. The Silent War: How Neighborhood Turf Battles Rage Unobserved (underlined). Berkeley, CA Norton Press, 1999.

4. 4

   Reference a book with more than three authors using the "et al." abbreviation. The "et al." used in a citation is short for the Latin "et alli" which means "and others." Example: Gilford, Steven, et al. Baby Steps: a Guide to Parenting in the New Millenium (underlined). Berkeley: U of California P, 2002.

5. 5

   Reference a corporate author by the title of the corporation. Example: James Smithsonian Museum of Science. The History of James Smithsonian (underlined). 4th ed. Washington, D.C.: Washington Press, 1973.
