Description:
This book offers a basic yet comprehensive introduction to the completion and reservoir engineering aspects of hydraulic fracture stimulation.
Brief description: Jack R. Jones began his career in 1982 at Amoco's Tulsa Research Center, while completing a PhD degree in petroleum engineering at the University of Tulsa. His work at Amoco focused on problems in well testing, gas reservoir engineering, hydraulic fracture evaluation, petrophysics, and reservoir simulation. Since 1998, Jones has divided his time working for BP Trinidad in Port of Spain and BP Canada in Calgary, executing various aspects of a number of different gas-field developments. Presently, he holds the position of reservoir engineering technical advisor in BP Canada's Calgary office. Jones is the coauthor of 25 papers and has served on a number of SPE technical committees.
