Morris Muskat (1907-), an American petroleum engineer who first described the fundamental aspects of reservoir dynamics. In 1931, while working for the Gulf Research and Development Co., he wrote The Flow of Homogeneous Fluids Through Porous Media. This work is widely considered as a seminal publication for reservoir engineering. A second book, Physical Principles of Oil Production (1949), advanced the field even further and provided the analytical foundation for reservoir engineering that exists to this day.
