Practical Petroleum Geochemistry for Exploration and Production provides readers with a single reference that addresses the principle concepts and applications of petroleum geochemistry used in finding‎,‎ evaluating‎,‎ and producing petroleum deposits‎.‎ Today‎,‎ there are few reference books available on how petroleum geochemistry is applied in exploration and production written specifically for geologists‎,‎ geophysicists‎,‎ and petroleum engineers‎.‎ This book fills that void and is based on training courses that the author has developed over his 37‎-year career in hydrocarbon exploration and production‎.‎ Specific topical features include the origin of petroleum‎,‎ deposition of source rock‎,‎ hydrocarbon generation‎,‎ and oil and gas migrations that lead to petroleum accumulations‎.‎ Also included are descriptions on how these concepts are applied to source rock evaluation‎,‎ oil‎-to‎-oil‎,‎ and oil‎-to‎-source rock correlations‎,‎ and ways of interpreting natural gas data in exploration work‎.‎ Finally‎,‎ a thorough description on the ways petroleum geochemistry can assist in development and production work‎,‎ including reservoir continuity‎,‎ production allocation‎,‎ and EOR monitoring is presented‎.‎ Authored by an expert in petroleum geochemistry‎,‎ this book is the ideal reference for any geoscientist looking for exploration and production content based on extensive field‎-based research and expertise‎.‎
