Book Synopsis
HANDBOOK OF PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCE

This reference brings together the latest industrial updates and research advances in regional tectonics and geomechanics. Each chapter is based upon an in-depth case study from a particular region, highlighting core concepts and themes as well as regional variations.

Key topics discussed in the book are:

  • Drilling solutions from the Kutch offshore basin
  • Geophysical studies from a gas field in Bangladesh
  • Exploring Himalayan terrain in India
  • Tectonics and exploration of the Persian Gulf basin
  • Unconventional gas reservoirs in the Bohemian Massif

This book is an invaluable industry resource for professionals and academics working in and studying the fields of petroleum geoscience and tectonics.
