and rock-fluid interactions-which are presented in the eight chapters of the
book-are included in an Appendix.
In addition to detailed experimental procedures, the authors have included
examples for each experiment. Although this book was primarily organized
and prepared for use as a textbook and laboratory manual, it also will serve
as a reference book for petroleum engineers and geologists, and can be used in
petrophysical testing laboratories. It is the first comprehensive book published
on the subject since 1960 (J. W. Amyx, D. M. Bass, Jr., and R. L. Whiting,
Petroleum Reservoir Engineering, McGraw-Hill, New York, NY). The book
also can serve as the basis for the advancement of theories and applications of
petrophysics as the technology of petroleum engineering continues to improve
and evolve. This unique book belongs on the bookshelf of every petroleum
engineer and petroleum geologist.
