U S A lax 01-214-952.9435 Abstract A course of exercises has been developed that trains the student in the different steps involved in discovering and evaluating the economic worth of an oil field. The objective is for the course to act as a link for several different aspects of petroleum engineering -seismic analysis, drilling and completion, logging, well testing, reservoir evaluation and economic analysis -that the student has been taught in detail in the specialist courses that he/she has attended during the course of hidher petroleum engineering education.To do this, a fictitious oil field has been invented, and its details incorporated into a simulator that allows drilling, logging and other operations to be carried out so tiat the student gradually learns about the properties of the field during the course of a series of "hands on" exercises. Once the investigation is complete, the student has enough information to make an economic evaluation of the field, and is in a position to determine the necessary economic criteriainvestment required, net present value, return on investment etc. -that will allow the "company" owning the lease to decide whether to go ahead with developing the field.

[Weekes and Co.] recall most pleasurable recollections in a room; and on THE title-page says that this Psalter is pointed " upon a the same principle, in these days of cheap music, may we new and simple system." We turn over two pages, and the reproduce iNt our house miniature representations of those author says in his preface " the work does not lay claim great compositions which have so frequently delighted us to any great originality or ingenuity." We confess that vut of it. How often have *ve heard the very srorks we are puzzled as to hosr these two statements can be mentioned by the author of this volume as unsuited for harmonised. Honv can pointing be on a wew sstem, and home representation given in a drasving-room, with merely yet not be original ? If it is not original it certainly cannot a pianoforte accompaniment; and how much solid pleasure be ner,v * and if it claims to be new, it clearly by doing so has been afforded, even to trained musicians, by such per-claims the credit of originality. Of the two statements, we formances. In passing through this volume, rve seem to think the one in the author's preface is the nearer to the be sitting by the side of a thoroughly accomplished artist, truth. We have to blame Mr. Cooper for not beinffl even who is ready and willing to talk with us upon music in a less orifflinal than he is because he directs a slight manner we can all understand, and to sympathise vith all stress on the accented syllable of recitation, whereas the the difficulties which stand in our way of introducing it in best authorities have long utterly condemned the smp1zasis its most intellectual aspect into our homes. \Vithout a asbeingneitherrequiredbyvordsnormusic. Forexample tinge of pedantry, he gives us just enough of the history of the stress is directed to be made in Psalm lxxxviii. g, on the art as he finds necessary for his purpose; and if oc-the last syllable of the word " faileth."
