Petroleum Geoscience : from sedimentary environments to rock physics

Petroleum Geoscience : from sedimentary environments to rock physics Edited by Knut, Bjørlykke 1938- - 2e. - Berlin: Springer, ©2015 - xii, 662p.; illus.; includes index - Springer E-Books .

Petroleum geoscience comprises those geoscientific disciplines which are of greatest significance for the exploration and recovery of oil and gas. These include petroleum geology, of which sedimentary geology is the main foundation along with the contextual and modifying principles of regional, tectonic and structural geology. Additionally, biostratigraphy and micropaleontology, organic geochemistry, and geophysical exploration and production techniques are all important tools for petroleum geoscientists in the 21st century. This comprehensive textbook present an overview of petroleum geoscience for geologists destined for the petroleum industry. It should also be useful for students interested in environmental geology, engineering geology and other aspects of sedimentary geology
