"Mathematical Theory of Oil and Gas Recovery: With Applications to ex-USSR Oil and Gas..." ed. by P. Bedrikovetsky, G. Rowan

This book comprises a mathematical study of multiphase multicomponent flows in heterogeneous porous media. The goal is to develop analytical models of the recovery processes from heterogeneous reservoirs based on the exact analytical solutions of equations of flow in porous media.
The book will be useful for researchers in petroleum engineering and reservoir modelling, for software engineers, for practical reservoir engineers and managers of reservoir studies.

The analytical models developed describe chemical and hot waterflooding, injection of gases and solvents in oil and gas condensate reservoirs.
Applications of analytical models in feasibility studies, in the development planning and design, and in reservoir characterization are given with respect to numerous CIS oil and gas condensate fields.
