Description

Hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusions in Petroliferous Basins trains readers to detect Hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusions (HCFIs) in sedimentary rocks, particularly the wafer preparation techniques to visualize HCFIs, its distinction from aqueous inclusions, petrographic approaches to HCFIs, microthermometric observations on HCFIs, fluorescence emission spectra and Raman spectra of HCFIs, and their interpretations for the petroleum industry. The book features case studies from the Mumbai and Kerala Konkan Basins of the Western Offshore of India - two representative basins where new, non-destructive, fluid inclusion techniques were tested. This book is essential reading for students of petroleum geology and those working in exploration in the oil and gas industry.

Key Features

  • Helps readers to identify Hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusions (HCFIs) in sedimentary basins

About the Authors

Vivekanandan Nandakumar

Dr. V. Nandakumar is a geoscientist in NCESS, India. He has vast expertise in fluid inclusion work, both in sedimentary and high-grade metamorphic rocks. Dr. V. Nandakumar has more than 28 years of experience in fluid inclusions studies, beginning from his MSc thesis on fluid inclusions in igneous and hydrothermal systems. As a continuation to his MSc thesis, his PhD work was also on fluid inclusions in cordierite bearing granulites. He also collaborated with the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Government of India to study fluid inclusions from the petroliferous basins and is developing techniques for oil exploration.

    Hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusions in Petroliferous Basins

    This book is very welcome contribution and will be a useful reference not only for researchers engaged in fluid inclusion studies, but most importantly, those who are working in the field of oil exploration and prospecting. From the contents listed, the book is organized well and carries a wealth of information. It also provides guidelines on new techniques and approaches, thus advancing this field of science. I am glad to recommend this book.
