Review: This book explains the concepts, theories and laboratory procedures as related to the porous rock properties and their interactions with fluids (gases, hydrocarbon liquids and aqueous solutions). Initial chapters on mineralogy, petrology and geology give the basis for the study of rock properties and rock–fluid interactions. In this edition, the chapter on porosity and permeability has been extended, as has the chapter on formation resistivity and water saturation. There are new complete chapters on capillary pressure, wetability, and naturally fractured reservoirs. The chapter on the effects of stress on reservoir rock properties now includes the effect of change in the stress fied due to depletion and repressurization, stress and critical borehole pressure in vertical and horizontal wells, critical pore pressure, and the estimation of unconfined compressive rock strength from porosity data.
