August 2008: we are advised of the publication of a new book of relevance to Formation Evaluation:
| "Formation Testing Pressure Transient and Contamination Analysis," by Wilson C. Chin, Ph.D., MIT. Numerous forward and inverse models for pressure and permeability interpretation, and methods for multiphase contamination and cleanup analysis, together with detailed calculated examples, are given (417 pages, 214 figures). Mr. Chin, previously a key researcher at Halliburton responsible for designing a number of interpretation, supercharge modeling and two-phase cleanup methods, was supported by four prestigious Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants from the United States Department of Energy, and also awards from CNOOC and COSL. The book summarizes more than a decade of research and perspectives on formation testing job planning. The attached (pdf) "Announcement" contains a detailed Table of Contents as well as author and contact information.
