Foreword
Applied Concepts in Fractured Reservoirs is a much‐needed precise and practical treatment of a key topic in the energy industry and beyond. The subject of natural fractures and their impact on hydrocarbon reservoirs has been a mutual interest that I have shared with the senior author of this book, John Lorenz, for decades. In my view this will become a standard reference for geoscientists and engineers working on fractured reservoirs, for example reservoir engineers, geophysicists, geologists, and rock mechanics practitioners. It will take its place among the many other publications by the authors already addressing related issues. The importance of the book lies in the fact that it addresses what is probably the most pervasive feature of rocks: the tendency to break under natural or man‐made stresses. The authors put this in an applied context for all involved in exploration and development in the industry and in academia. In that context the book is well organized and clearly illustrated in an easy to grasp collection of applications for fracture studies, for example their impact on reservoir
