Petroleum Geology of the North Sea: Basic Concepts and Recent Advances / Edition 4

by K. W. Glennie

Overview

Since the 3rd edition of this publication, emphasis within the petroleum industry has shifted from exploration to appraisal and development of existing hydrocarbon resources. This change is reflected in this new 4th edition, which has been significantly expanded to accomodate additional material. The centrepiece of the book, however, remains a series of descriptions, in stratigraphic order, of the depositional history and hydrocarbon related rock units of the North Sea.

Editorial Reviews

"Petroleum Geology of the North Sea can still be highly recommended to industry geologists without prior knowledge of the region, to university teachers looking for a case study in a petroleum geology or basin analysis course, and to undergraduates on the receiving end of such courses." Geological Magazine on the third edition " ... now out in a long-awaited, fully revised edition, (the book) has been the mainstay for many courses on the North Sea for the past eight years." New Scientist on the third edition

From the Publisher

Developed from a two-day course held annually by the Joint Association for Petroleum Exploration Courses in London since 1981. Summarizes the history of petroleum exploration in the North Sea and reviews the structural framework and pre-Permian development of the region. Then offers a series of descriptions, in stratigraphical order, of the depositional history and hydrocarbon-related rock units from the Permian to the Tertiary. Summarizes and concludes with chapters on the source rocks for oil and gas, why the resources are where they are, how they may be found, and what the future may hold, or in this case surrender. First published in 1984 and updated here from the 1990 edition. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
