"Petroleum geoscience describes the application of geological principles and methods to the identification and characterization of untapped fossil fuel deposits. As the readily accessible deposits are coming to an end, petroleum geologists and exploration geophysicists have had to broaden their toolbox for studying such hydrocarbon reservoirs, so that every can now comprehensively examine and assess every type of rock and geological feature. The understanding of tectonics and geomechanics at a regional as well as a global scale has proven to be vital for the successful exploration and subsequent exploitation of novel hydrocarbon resources."--
This reference brings together the latest industrial updates and research advances in regional tectonics and geomechanics, based on case studies from a range of different regions, highlighting core concepts and themes as well as regional variations.
Key topics discussed in the book are:
- Drilling solutions from the Kutch offshore basin
- Geophysical studies from a gas field in Bangladesh
- Exploring Himalayan terrain in India
- Unconventional gas reservoirs in Brazil
This book is an invaluable industry resource for professionals and academics working in and studying the fields of petroleum geoscience and tectonics.
