Petroleum Geoscience

Petroleum Geoscience, 2nd edition is a comprehensive introduction to the application of geology and geophysics to the search for and production of oil and gas. The updated edition provides a comprehensive grounding in the geological sciences applied to exploration and production, uniquely structured to reflect the sequential and cyclical processes of exploration, appraisal, development, and production. It includes new case histories from the authors' experiences, a global and geo-temporal backdrop with examples from petroleum systems ranging from late-Pre-Cambrian to Pliocene, and stresses integration of geology and geophysics with drilling, reservoir engineering, petrophysics, petroleum engineering, facilities design, and health, safety, and environment.
