Summary

Written by three of the world's most renowned petroleum and environmental engineers, 'Probability in Petroleum and Environmental Engineering' is the first book to offer the practising engineer and engineering student new cutting-edge techniques for prediction and forecasting in petroleum engineering and environmental management. In this book, the authors combine a rigorous, yet easy-to-understand approach to probability and how it is applied to petroleum and environmental engineering to solve multiple problems that the engineer or geologist faces every day.
