* An accessible resource, covering the fundamentals of carbonate reservoir engineering * Includes discussions on how, where and why carbonate are formed, plus reviews of basic sedimentological and stratigraphic principles to explain carbonate platform characteristics and stratigraphic relationships * Offers a new, genetic classification of carbonate porosity that is especially useful in predicting spatial distribution of pore networks. * Includes a solution manual

This comprehensive text and accompanying CD-ROM will provide the reader with an integrated overview of diagenesis and porosity evolution in carbonate petroleum reservoirs and ancient carbonate rock sequences. The initial chapters of this volume provide an overview of the carbonate sedimentologic system and the application of sequence stratigraphic concepts to carbonate rock sequences. The nature of carbonate porosity and its control by diagenesis is explored. Porosity classification schemes are detailed, compared, and their utility examined. The nature and characteristics of diagenetic env

The creation of river dams and the storage of water have been a strategy for survival for many centuries. Reservoirs have diverse functions, providing irrigation, water supply, storage of water, flood control, navigation and power generation. The silting of a reservoir is an unavoidable process. Although it cannot be halted, silting can be slowed down and controlled by a variety of soil conservation practices and by modifying agricultural practices in the catchment area. Other methods of reducing silting include the placing of certain engineering structures in the river system and the introduc

This book begins with an entertaining, historical background of dam construction. This includes types and purposes of ancient dams and construction techniques. It also describes the hydraulics of flowing water from its inflow in the reservoir; it’s traveling in the reservoir and over the spillway, then in the downstream channel up to a control section. The book contains numerous excellent photographs of hydraulic structures, flow conditions, reservoirs, etc. that give added interest.

This book is concerned with one of the methods of removing sediments from reservoirs, namely the flushing of sediments through purpose built outlet works within the dam. This technique can be applied to existing dams, with adaptation of the engineering works, and to new dams. The book gives practical guidance on the necessary hydrological, hydraulic, sedimentological and topographical features for successful flushing.In this book the author draws together his wealth of experience of working in this field.
