Basin Analysis: Principles and Application to Petroleum Play Assessment

All good

The book has excellent color illustrations and full descriptions of things, but the print is darned small. If you normally buy the print textbook because you study better from them, don't with this one. The small print completely negates the advantage.

Front cover was significantly ripped when delivered otherwise the content of the book is extremely valuable. Illustrations are colorful, clear and descriptive.

I think there is a broad consensus that Basin Analysis is the best guide to basin analysis and to big picture Geoscience thinking for those in, or going in to, the Upstream business. It covers the physics behind geodynamics and the lithosphere, the mechanics of sedimentary basin formation, sedimentary basin fill and the application of the principles to petroleum play assessment. Given the broad physical background stratigraphy is introduced in a complete way, with the background not limited solely to a “eustatic” explanation.The text is at times a little lacking in the application of seismic and well log data. To take the case of stratigraphy again, the interpretation/use of seismic in this regard could have profitable been expanded on further (but I do not know of any monograph, as opposed to individual papers, that really makes the most of seismic in this regard – and would be happy to hear of such cases).Basin Analysis remains THE textbook for Basin Analysis and very much the industry standard.

A must for petroleum geoscientist..

great

great text book if you are looking into sedimentary/petroleum basins

Arrivato il giorno prestabilito e perfettamente intatto. Il libro è molto interessante per chi vuole approfondire in modo accademico lo studio dei bacini e della geologia strutturale che li accompagna.
