Description
Petroleum is not as easy to find as it used to be. In order tolocate and develop reserves efficiently, it's vital that geologistsand geophysicists understand the geological processes that affect areservoir rock and the oil that is trapped within it. This book isabout how and to what extent, these processes may be understood.The theme of the book is the characterization of fluids insedimentary basins, understanding their interaction with each otherand with rocks, and the application of this information to finding,developing and producing oil and gas. The first part of the bookdescribes the techniques, and the second part relates real-lifecase histories covering a wide range of applications. Petroleumgeology, particularly exploration, involves making the best ofincomplete results. It is essentially an optimistic exercise. Thisbook will remove some of the guesswork.
* * Brings together the most important geochemical methods in asingle volume.
* Authored by two well-respected researchers in the oilindustry.
* Real-life, international case histories.
