Stratigraphic Reservoir Characterization for Petroleum Geologists, Geophysicists, and Engineers

Roger M. Slatt

Description

Stratigraphic Reservoir Characterization for Petroleum Geologists, Geophysicists, and Engineers focuses on stratigraphic aspects of clastic reservoir characterization, emphasizing how understanding reservoir geology enhances oil and gas extraction. Reservoir characterization evolved as a quantitative, multidisciplinary field integrating geology, geophysics, and engineering, driven by advances in computing, data visualization, asset teams, and improved seismic techniques. It serves as a practical resource describing different types of sandstone and shale reservoirs, with case histories for easy comparison and applications of standard, new, and emerging technologies.
