A practical book for geologists involved in petroleum production,
here is a comprehensive review of basic techniques in production
geology, the links with related subjects, and the function of
geologists in the planning and operation of all phases of oilfield
development. The first part discusses the basic techniques used in
the analysis and graphic representation of the stratigraphy,
tectonic structure, reservoir sedimentology and hydrocarbon
distribution of an oilfield. The second part describes how this
knowledge is applied in the various phases of field development.
The mutual support between production geology and neighbouring
disciplines such as seismology, log interpretation, reservoir
engineering is stressed. Throughout the book, the text is secondary
to the illustrations; these are examples, mostly hypothetical, of
conditions and techniques discussed, designed so as to bring out as
clearly as possible the importance of the points made. It is thus
an ideal book for graduate students, specializing in petroleum
geology and for participants in post-graduate courses, in
universities or within industry.
