Description
This rock-based book is an attempt to link deep-water process sedimentology with sandstone petroleum reservoirs. In presenting a consistent
process interpretation, the author has relied on his description and interpretation of core and outcrop (1:20 to 1:50 scale) from 35
case studies (which include 32 petroleum reservoirs), totaling more than 30,000 feet (9,145 m), carried out during the past 30 years
(1974-2004). This book should serve as an important source of information for students on history, methodology, first principles, advanced
concepts, controversies, and practical applications on deep-water sedimentology and petroleum geology
Audience
Graduate and undergratuate students, and researchers of deep-water sedimentology and petroleum geology, professional petroleum explorationists
(geologists and geophysicists), production technologists (geologists, petrophysicists, and engineers), and petroleum industry managers
