Geology and Geochemistry of Oil and Gas

Chilingar G.V., Buryakovsky L.A., Eremenko N.A. and Gorfunkel M.V. (Eds.)0444520538, 9780444520531

This book discusses the progress that is being made through innovations in instrumental measurements of geologic and geochemical systems and their study using modern mathematical modeling. It covers the systems approach to understanding sedimentary rocks and their role in evolution and containment of subsurface fluids.
