Learn critical techniques for generating viable prospects. This is a how-to encyclopedia of prospecting for oil and gas. The book, an addition to the Handbook set of the Treatise of Petroleum Geology, focuses on procedures and proven petroleum exploration techniques that are critical for generating viable prospects. With an emphasis on the importance of creative thinking and the benefits of a multidisciplinary team approach, this publication provides a blueprint for your success as an oil finder. The book’s twenty-one chapters deal with exploration philosophy, the concept and critical elements of traps in a petroleum system, evaluating the elements of a petroleum province, and methods for predicting reservoir occurrence, quality, and performance.
