of well stimulation and improved oil recovery by application of different electro-
magnetic fields to the well drainage areas.
I hope the technique of r-chains and dynamical "forest growth" will be suc-
cessfully applied and further developed in the area of upscaling of multiphase
multicomponent flows in reservoirs with complex heterogeneity.
The book is strong both in theoretical fundamentals and engineering. Wide
audience of petroleum engineers, researchers and graduate students will find it
useful and informative. Wish them pleasant reading and further inspiration!
