Description
Petroleum Geoscience is a comprehensive introduction to theapplication of geology and geophysics to the search for andproduction of oil and gas. Uniquely, this book is structured to reflect the sequential andcyclical processes of exploration, appraisal, development andproduction. Chapters dedicated to each of these aspects are furtherillustrated by case histories drawn from the authors' experiences.Petroleum Geoscience has a global and 'geo-temporal' backdrop,drawing examples and case histories from around the world and frompetroleum systems ranging in age from late-Pre-Cambrian toPliocene. In order to show how geoscience is integrated at all levelswithin the industry, the authors stress throughout the linksbetween geology and geophysics on the one hand, and drilling,reservoir engineering, petrophysics, petroleum engineering,facilities design, and health, safety and the environment on theother. Petroleum Geoscience is designed as a practical guide,with the basic theory augmented by case studies from a wide spreadof geographical locations. Covers all the key aspects of the origin of petroleum,exploration, and production. It takes account of the modernemphasis on the efficient utilisation of reserves, on new methodsin exploration (such as 3-D seismics). Book takes 'value-chain' approach to PetroleumGeoscience. First new text on petroleum geology for geology undergraduatesto be published in the last ten years. Packed full of real-life case studies from Petroleumindustry.
