Geology of carbonate reservoirs : the identification, description, and characterization of hydrocarbon reservoirs in carbonate rocks

* An Accessible Resource, Covering The Fundamentals Of Carbonate Reservoir Engineering * Includes Discussions On How, Where And Why Carbonate Are Formed, Plus Reviews Of Basic Sedimentological And Stratigraphic Principles To Explain Carbonate Platform Characteristics And Stratigraphic Relationships * Offers A New, Genetic Classification Of Carbonate Porosity That Is Especially Useful In Predicting Spatial Distribution Of Pore Networks. * Includes A Solution Manual "This timely reference presents the information scientists need to explore and develop carbonate reservoirs in the most efficient and profitable ways. Carbonate rocks contain at least half of the world's oil and gas and much of its groundwater. Primary extraction of oil recovers about one-third of it; two-thirds waits for specialized recovery methods that depend on precise knowledge of reservoir geology." "This book's goal is to help scientists explore and develop the vast resources in carbonate reservoirs more efficiently and economically. Though the book is written for petroleum geologists, geophysicists, and engineers and students in those fields, this is also a good reference for hydrogeologists and environmental geologists because reservoirs and aquifers differ only in the fluids they contain."--Jacket Scientists Must Understand Carbonate Reservoir Geology In Order To Maximize Oil Recovery From Natural Reserves. This Timely Book Provides A Comprehensive Explanation Of Carbonate Reservoirs, Beginning With Discussions About The Formation Of Carbonates.
