Mathematical Theory of Oil and Gas Recovery With Applications to ex-USSR Oil and Gas Fields

It is a pleasure to be asked to write the foreword to this interesting new book. When Professor Bedrikovetsky first accepted my invitation to spend an extended sabbatical period in the Department of Mineral Resources Engineering at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, I hoped it wou...
