This book introduces classes of steady-state solutions that the interested reader can extend and generalize. They are particularly meaningful to reservoirs that produce under near-steady conditions at high rates, typical of many oil fields outside the United States. The solutions are useful in studies related to flow heterogeneities, hydraulic fractures, nonlinear gas flows, horizontal drilling, infill drilling, and formation evaluation. The analytical techniques used are described in detail, applied to nontrivial flow problems, and extensions are outlined in the Problems and Exercises sections at the end of each chapter.
