Understanding Oil and Gas Shows and Seals in the Search for Hydrocarbons (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

The book covers in detail the ways to differentiate between residual and continuous phase (trapped) oil, false shows and shows associated with source rocks and tight oil and gas reservoirs (potential unconventional targets). Case histories of finding by-passed plays, new migration routes and new fields will be shown for each major topic. All of these materials are presented in the context of modern petroleum systems modeling of migration and charge, with an emphasis on how to calibrate and test the validity of the computer models. Lastly, exercises are included to reinforce the concepts in each chapter.

Rezensionen

"It becomes an easy reference guide for earth scientists who have practiced their "art" for many years as well as the industry newcomer. ... the book is a map on how to improve the search for hydrocarbons. The content of this book will be invaluable to our industry for years to come. The author has done us a great service." (John B. Thomas, AAPG Bulletin, Vol. 101 (8), August, 2017)

"Mr. Dolson's book is a long overdue work, filling a critical knowledge gap that has spanned decades of exploration and has resulted in billions of dollars in dry holes. ... His years of experience with major oil companies, as well as teaching and consulting, provide an exceptional perspective on this critically important subject. ... this book is an

absolute must read and keep for explorationists at all levels as well as managers and engineers. ... this book is highly recommended." (David Blanchard, GEOExPro, Vol. 14 (3), May, 2017)
"This is intended as a text for professional geologists beginning a career in oil and gas exploration. The work is based on the author's more than three decades of experience, mostly in Egypt, India, and Russia. ... book is divided into nine chapters, each leading with an abstract and ending with a summary and references. Chapters are profusely illustrated with charts, diagrams, and occasional photos, mostly clear and easily readable ... . Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; professionals." (P. Larsen, Choice, Vol. 54 (6), February, 2017)
