Oil and Gas Exploration: Methods and Application
About this ebook
Volume highlights include:
- Advanced geophysical techniques for achieving hydrocarbon exploration efficiency from beneath the Earth
- Discussion of theoretical and practical approaches in solving problems related to exploring and mining new oil and gas deposits
- New geological concepts for predicting potential hydrocarbon targets
- Novel methods of control of the outworking of these deposits using different geophysical methods, significant for optimization of mining hydrocarbon and carbonate deposits
- Estimation of the degree of outworking of oil and gas deposits, to facilitate the use of space-time monitoring of different kinds of fields
- Analysis of exploration data by an efficient processing system, based on strong methods proven mathematically
Oil and Gas Exploration is a valuable resource for exploration geophysicists, petroleum engineers, geoengineers, petrologists, mining engineers, and economic geologists, who will gain insights into exploring new methods involved in finding natural resources from our Earth.
