HANDBOOK OF PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCEThis reference brings together the latest industrial updates and research advances in regional tectonics and geomechanics. Each chapter is based upon an in-depth case study from a particular region, highlighting core concepts and themes as well as regional variations.
Key topics discussed in the book are:Drilling solutions from the Kutch offshore basinGeophysical studies from a gas field in BangladeshExploring Himalayan terrain in IndiaTectonics and exploration of the Persian Gulf basinUnconventional gas reservoirs in the Bohemian Massif
This book is an invaluable industry resource for professionals and academics working in and studying the fields of petroleum geoscience and tectonics.
