'The book is clearly organized. Only important facts are addressed;
the sequence of the chapters is logical, the text is well-written
and therefore, very readable. In addition, the meaning of
geoscientific terms is clearly explained. Definitions are provided
in a glossary which is easy to use. It is an excellent tool, which
will be of value and benefit to the global petroleum community. I
am pleased to recommend it.'M L BordenaveMouvOil SAThis book covers
the fundamentals of the earth sciences and examines their role in
controlling the global occurrence and distribution of hydrocarbon
resources. It explains the principles, practices and the
terminology associated with the upstream sector of the oil
industry. Key topics include a look at the elements and processes
involved in the generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons and
demonstration of how geological and geophysical techniques can be
applied to explore for oil and gas. There is detailed investigation
into the nature and chemical composition of petroleum, and of
surface and subsurface maps, including their construction and uses
in upstream operations. Other topics include well-logging
techniques and their use in determining rock and fluid properties,
definitions and classification of resources and reserves,
conventional oil and gas reserves, their quantification and global
distribution as well as unconventional hydrocarbons, their
worldwide occurrence and the resources potentially associated with
them. Finally, practical analysis is concentrated on the play
concept, play maps, and the construction of petroleum events charts
and quantification of risk in exploration ventures.As the first
volume in the Imperial College Lectures in Petroleum Engineering,
and based on a lecture series on the same topic, An Introduction to
Petroleum Geoscience provides the introductory information needed
for students of the earth sciences, petroleum engineering,
engineering and geoscience.This volume also includes an
introduction to the series by Martin Blunt and Alain Gringarten, of
Imperial College London.
