The application of surface geochemical methods to finding petroleum
is based on the detection of hydrocarbons in the soil that have
leaked from a petroleum reservoir at depth. While the seal over the
deposit was once considered impermeable, surface geochemistry data
now show that such leakage is a common occurrence. Despite its
simplicity and low costs, surface geochemistry remains
controversial because, until now, there was no objective and
in-depth treatment of the various methods of surface geochemistry
for oil exploration. Written by a successful oil finder, this
practical guide: * surveys a broad array of surface geochemistry
techniques, from soil gases to microbiology, and provides clear
strategies for applying them to the high-stakes art of petroleum
exploration * offers numerous case studies, both successes and
failures, to show the strengths and weaknesses of different
approaches * examines statistical and spatial variation, surveys
and models in surface geochemistry, demonstrating how each
analytical tool can be used to optimize accuracy * integrates
surface geochemistry data interpretation with data from
conventional methods of oil exploration, and considers the
economics of surface geochemical approaches * discusses key topics
that have been neglected in the literature, such as grid design and
the effects of soils. Geologists, geophysicists, geological
engineers and exploration managers involved in petroleum
exploration will gain valuable insights from this volume. By
presenting and evaluating each method of surface geochemistry in a
neutral tone, this book enables the reader to select and employ
these methods with greater confidence.
