Reviews

"The talents of this very special author make up this book that is first of its kind in petroleum engineering and is a very useful tool for any engineering discipline interested in fluid flow in porous media." --Saeid Mokhatab, Advisor of Natural Gas Engineering Research Projects, Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming, USA
