Knut-Andreas Lie is Chief Scientist at SINTEF in Oslo, Norway, where he heads a research group in computational methods for geoscience applications. Over the last twenty years he has developed commercial and inhouse software solutions for the international petroleum industry. In particular, he is a founding father of two open-source community softwares: MRST and OPM. Lie holds a Ph.D. in mathematics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, where he also has a position as adjunct professor. He has authored 140 scientific papers and supervised sixty-five M.Sc. and Ph.D. students. He currently serves as Executive Editor for the SPE Journal of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

'This book on reservoir simulation is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the extraction of hydrocarbons. As suggested by its title, the book is indeed an introduction, just what newbies will want for learning to implement simulation of production processes for hydrocarbons, but by no means inadequate for advanced researchers and professionals … The MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST) routines as developed by the author and provided in the book are freely available, and the author's discussion really minimizes the complexity of the mathematics.'
