Volcanic Reservoirs in Petroleum Exploration
By- Caineng Zou, Research Institute of Petroleum Exploration and Development, Beijing, China
As the world faces ever-increasing energy demands, we must look to new sources of oil and gas in addition to alternative energy sources. Volcanic reservoirs are one such new source and thus an important exploration area and a hot topic in petroleum exploration. There are issues unique to dealing with volcanic reservoirs, and scientists need to understand the differences between volcanic reservoirs and other major reservoir types to move forward with petroleum exploration and production in these basins. The first of its kind, Volcanic Reservoirs in Petroleum Exploration summarizes todays volcanic reservoir exploration situation in the world, analyzes the current research on the geological features and development characteristics of volcanic reservoirs in China, and presents a series of practical exploration and evaluation techniques based on this research. It describes effective methods for examining volcanic distribution and predicting volcanic reservoirs, providing a framework for systematic studies throughout the world.
