Petroleum Source Rocks
Author: Barry J. KatzPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642789110
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Over the past two decades there has been increased interest in the availability of hydrocarbon charge through a better understanding of petroleum geochemistry and the identification and characterization of petroleum source rocks. These rocks are geochemically unique and form under specific sets of circumstances. This book brings together both geologic and geochemical data from fifteen petroleum source rocks, ranging in age from Devonian to Eocene, that would otherwise be widely dispersed in the literature or available only in proprietary corporate databases. Much of this information, presented in either a tabular or graphic fashion, provides the petroleum explorationist and the geochemist with a framework to establish relationships among various geochemical indices and depositional settings.
Marine Petroleum Source Rocks

ISBN: 9781862399990
Category : Geochemistry
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Organic-rich marine sediments are the source of most of the world's oil. The need for an understanding of actual and potential marine source rocks is therefore of vital economic importance, but also poses many fascinating 'academic' questions. These papers were originally presented at a Geological Society meeting in London in May 1983. The volume is divided into three main parts. The first deals with concepts and methods of study, the second with depositional processes and environments, and the last with the stratigraphic record.
The Circum-Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
Author: Claudio BartoliniPublisher: AAPG
ISBN: 0891813608
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 977
Book Description
"AAPG Memoir 79, The Circum-Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, is the first volume in more than a decade to document such a wide range of research on the geology of this vast area. Of the total 44 papers, roughly two-thirds pertain to the Gulf of Mexico, with an emphasis on the Mexican portion of the basin, and to the petroliferous areas of the southern Caribbean, including Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba, and Trinidad and Tobago. The remaining papers relate to the Antilles and Central America, as well as a series of papers that address region-wide topics such as plate tectonic evolution. A significant number of papers were contributed by authors from national oil companies and universities from within the region." --AAPG.
Petroleum Geology of the North Sea
Author: K. W. GlenniePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444313401
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
Since the 3rd edition of this publication, emphasis within the petroleum industry has shifted from exploration to appraisal and development of existing hydrocarbon resources. This change is reflected in this new 4th edition, which has been significantly expanded to accomodate additional material. The centrepiece of the book, however, remains a series of descriptions, in stratigraphic order, of the depositional history and hydrocarbon related rock units of the North Sea.

Petroleum Geochemistry and Source Rock Potential of Carbonate Rocks
Author: J. G. PalacasPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Carbonate rocks have diverse characteristics. They can be excellent reservoirs as well as prolific source rocks for oil. Oils from carbonate rocks commonly have distinctive bulk chemical and molecular characteristics that reveal their origin. The papers collected here are descriptions and interpretations (that is, case histories) of specific carbonate source rocks that range in age from Precambrian to Miocene.
The Petroleum System

Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Investigations about porosity in petroleum reservoir rocks are discussed by Schmoker and Gautier. Pollastro discusses the uses of clay minerals as exploration tools that help to elucidate basin, source-rock, and reservoir history. The status of fission-track analysis, which is useful for determining the thermal and depositional history of deeply buried sedimentary rocks, is outlined by Naeser. The various ways workers have attempted to determine accurate ancient and present-day subsurface temperatures are summarized with numerous references by Barker. Clayton covers three topics: (1) the role of kinetic modeling in petroleum exploration, (2) biological markers as an indicator of depositional environment of source rocks and composition of crude oils, and (3) geochemistry of sulfur in source rocks and petroleum. Anders and Hite evaluate the current status of evaporite deposits as a source for crude oil.
