Geoscience in Petroleum Exploration:Fundamentals of Geology,Geophysics, Petrophysics and Drilling Engineering Techniques Applied in Petroleum Exploration

This book provides introduction to geology, geophysics, petrophysics and drilling engineering techniques applied in petroleum exploration. These different disciplines of geoscience are backbone of petroleum exploration. Successful exploration program can be best executed by a professional who knows how results were deduced from these disciplines and how to integrate them .This book is intended to serve as beginners guide on how these four major disciplines work together and basic principles behind results produced by them. This book is written in simple language and focus is on understanding the basic physical principles behind concepts of geology,geophysics, petrophysics and drilling engineering. In order to make this book simple and easy to understand, mathematical derivations are kept out as much as possible. Intent of this book is to provide a foundation of knowledge which can be applied to build upon practical experience. This Book intends to build readers foundation on basic concepts with proper emphasis on interpretation techniques applied in interpretation center. The book is intended for technical professional starting their career or technical professionals in their training phase and generalist working in oil companies dealing with different disciplines.
