Petroleum Geoscience is a comprehensive introduction to the
application of geology and geophysics to the search for and
production of oil and gas.

Uniquely, this book is structured to reflect the sequential and
cyclical processes of exploration, appraisal, development and
production. Chapters dedicated to each of these aspects are further
illustrated 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 from
petroleum systems ranging in age from late-Pre-Cambrian to
Pliocene.

In order to show how geoscience is integrated at all levels
within the industry, the authors stress throughout the links
between geology and geophysics on the one hand, and drilling,
reservoir engineering, petrophysics, petroleum engineering,
facilities design, and health, safety and the environment on the
other.

Petroleum Geoscience is designed as a practical guide,
with the basic theory augmented by case studies from a wide spread
of geographical locations.

Covers all the key aspects of the origin of petroleum,
exploration, and production. It takes account of the modern
emphasis on the efficient utilisation of reserves, on new methods
in exploration (such as 3-D seismics).

Book takes 'value-chain' approach to Petroleum
Geoscience.

First new text on petroleum geology for geology undergraduates
to be published in the last ten years.

Packed full of real-life case studies from Petroleum
industry.
