Elements of 3D Seismology, third edition is a thorough introduction to the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of 3D seismic data. This third edition is a major update of the second edition. Sections dealing with interpretation have been greatly revised in accordance with improved understanding and availability of data and software. Practice exercises have been added, as well as a 3D seismic survey predesign exercise. Discussions include: conceptual and historical foundations of modern reflection seismology; an overview of seismic wave phenomena in acoustic, elastic, and porous media; acquisition principles for land and marine seismic surveys; methods used to create 2D and 3D seismic images from field data; concepts of dip moveout, prestack migration, and depth migration; concepts and limitations of 3D seismic interpretation for structure, stratigraphy, and rock property estimation; and the interpretation role of attributes, impedance estimation, and AVO. This book is intended as a general text on reflection seismology, including wave propagation, data acquisition, processing, and interpretation and will be of interest to entry-level geophysicists, experts in related fields (geology, petroleum engineering), and experienced geophysicists in one subfield wishing to learn about another (e.g., interpreters wanting to learn about seismic waves or data acquisition).

This unparelleled reference synthesizes the methods used in microfacies analysis and details the potential of microfacies in evaluating depositional environments and diagenetic history, and, in particular, the application of microfacies data in the study of carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs and the provenance of archaeological materials. Nearly 230 instructive plates (30 in color) showing thin-section photographs with detailed explanations form a central part of the content. Helpful teaching-learning aids include detailed captions for hundreds of microphotographs, boxed summaries of technical terms, many case studies, guidelines for the determination and evaluation of microfacies criteria, for enclosed CD with 14000 references, self-testing exercises for recognition and characterization skills, and more

This special publication Perspectives in Carbonate Geologyis a collection of papers most of which were presented at asymposium to honor the 80th birthday of Bob Ginsburg at the meetingof Geological Society of America in Salt Lake City in 2005. Themajority of the papers in this publication are connected with thestudy of modern carbonate sediments. Bob Ginsburg pioneered theconcept of comparative sedimentology - that is using the modern tocompare to and relate to and understand the ancient. These studiesare concerned with Bob's areas of passion: coral reefs andsea-level; submarine cementation and formation of beach rock;surface sediments on Great Bahama Bank and other platforms; originof ooids; coastal sediments; formation of stromatolites; impact ofstorms on sediments; and the formation of dolomite. The remainderof the papers apply the study of modern environments andsedimentary processes to ancient sediments.

This book presents the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Integrated Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences 2016 (ICIPEG 2016), held under the banner of World Engineering, Science & Technology Congress (ESTCON 2016) at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from August 15 to 17, 2016. It presents peer-reviewed research articles on exploration, while also exploring a new area: shale research. In this time of low oil prices, it highlights findings to maintain the exchange of knowledge between researchers, serving as a vital bridge-builder between engineers, geoscientists, academics, and industry.

Coral reefs are the largest landforms built by plants and animals. Their study therefore incorporates a wide range of disciplines. This encyclopedia approaches coral reefs from an earth science perspective, concentrating especially on modern reefs. Currently coral reefs are under high stress, most prominently from climate change with changes to water temperature, sea level and ocean acidification particularly damaging. Modern reefs have evolved through the massive environmental changes of the Quaternary with long periods of exposure during glacially lowered sea level periods and short periods of interglacial growth. The entries in this encyclopedia condense the large amount of work carried out since Charles Darwin first attempted to understand reef evolution. Leading authorities from many countries have contributed to the entries covering areas of geology, geography and ecology, providing comprehensive access to the most up-to-date research on the structure, form and processes operating on Quaternary coral reefs.

Carbonate reservoirs are prone to natural fracturing. Fractures can act as enhanced permeability pathways, which may increase, decrease, or complicate reservoir production and development; healed fractures contribute to reservoir compartmentalization. A primary focus is placed upon the predictability of fracture set patterns and orientations, which vary according to carbonate lithofacies and the stress field(s) under which different types of fractures form. Extension fractures can form at the surface or at reservoir depths. Certain types of extension fracture sets (e.g., syndepositional, regional, and—to a lesser extent—karst-related fracture sets) exhibit predictable patterns and orientations with respect to the stress field under which they originated. Surface outcrops commonly exhibit multiple fracture sets; these are most frequently related to relaxation of compaction and/or thermal cooling. Such fracture sets are considered unlikely to resemble fracture sets in nearby reservoirs at depth; therefore, the use of surface fracture patterns as analogs for same-formation reservoirs, without comparative analysis of burial stress histories, is risky. Fault-related fractures have very high permeability potentials when newly formed, but their resulting role as fluid conduits typically leads to rapid healing, and therefore a higher likelihood of causing reservoir compartmentalization. These fractures typically cut across multiple beds. Fold-related fracture patterns are complex, typically consisting of both extension and conjugate shear-pair fractures, and show variable orientations in space and/or over time. However, they tend to follow the geometries of individual beds and are often confined to single beds, rather than aligning according to overall structural axes. Ekofisk Field, a naturally fractured North Sea chalk reservoir, is presented as an illustrative case of fold-related fracture abundance and effectiveness in enhancing fieldwide permeability parameters, without the drawback of creating major production problems during waterflooding.
