Understanding Oil and Gas Shows and Seals in the Search for Hydrocarbons

The book covers in detail the ways to differentiate between residual and continuous phase (trapped) oil, false shows and shows associated with source rocks and tight oil and gas reservoirs (potential unconventional targets). Case histories of finding by-passed plays, new migration routes and new fie...

Description
Summary:The book covers in detail the ways to differentiate between residual and continuous phase (trapped) oil, false shows and shows associated with source rocks and tight oil and gas reservoirs (potential unconventional targets). Case histories of finding by-passed plays, new migration routes and new fields will be shown for each major topic. All of these materials are presented in the context of modern petroleum systems modeling of migration and charge, with an emphasis on how to calibrate and test the validity of the computer models.  Lastly, exercises are included to reinforce the concepts in each chapter.
