The first edition of The Reservoir Engineering Aspects of Waterflooding, authored by Forrest F. Craig, Jr., was published in 1970, at a time when the theory of oil displacement by water had been developed, but computer modeling of 3D fluid flow in complex reservoirs was in its early stages. Additionally, large-scale field applications of pattern waterflooding had just begun, and long-term results were still unknown. This second edition revisits the fundamentals of waterflooding theory and reviews experimental studies on water displacement of oil in one, two, and three dimensions.

Seismic inversion is a widely used technique on post-stack and pre-stack seismic data for estimating rock properties crucial to reservoir characterization. While seismic migration focuses on accurately imaging reflectors at their true subsurface locations, seismic inversion aims to estimate the elastic and flow properties of the layers between these interfaces. Since seismic data primarily respond to contrasts in seismic wave velocity and density in subsurface rocks, mapping these elastic properties to specific rock types and estimating porosity can be complex due to overlaps in elastic properties among different rocks. Therefore, seismic inversion is most effective when integrated with data from seismic surveys, well logs, petrophysics, and production history. The results are best interpreted collaboratively by a team of geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir engineers. This book is designed to explain the fundamental principles of seismic exploration, wave propagation, and inversion in a clear, accessible manner, ensuring that geoscientists and engineers understand the significance and limitations of inversion results.
