Petroleum Systems of South Atlantic Margins
Author: Petroleum Systems of South Atlantic Margins
Author: Márcio Rocha MelloPublisher: AAPG
ISBN: 0891813543
Category : Atlantic Ocean (Geology)
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Giant oil and gas fields have been discovered in the deep water regions of Angola, Brazil, and Nigeria. This volume includes: Descriptions of the petroleum geology of more than 12 basins along the two margins; Discussion of various components of the petroleum systems within these basins; Discussion on the use of the petroleum systems concept in the South Atlantic marginal basins to classify and characterise the diversity of the systems; Methodologies used in the assessment of petroleum system components; Overviews of the different components of the region's petroleum systems.

Conjugate Divergent Margins
Author: Webster MohriakPublisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 1862393494
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 569
Book Description
The main focus of the book is the geological and geophysical interpretation of sedimentary basins along the South, Central and North Atlantic conjugate margins, but concepts derived from physical models, outcrop analogues and present-day margins are also discussed in some chapters. There is an encompassing description of several conjugate margins worldwide, based on recent geophysical and geological datasets. An overview of important aspects related to the geodynamic development and petroleum geology of Atlantic-type sedimentary basins is also included. Several chapters analyse genetic mechanisms and break-up processes associated with rift-phase structures and salt tectonics, providing a full description of conjugate margin basins based on deep seismic profiles and potential field methods.--
Transform Margins:
Author: M NemcokPublisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 1862397449
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
The volume reviews current knowledge of transform margins and addresses fundamental questions for future research. Furthermore, the articles look at principal factors that influence the dynamics, kinematics and thermal regimes of continental break-up at transform margins and cover geophysics (bathymetry, seismic, gravity and magnetic studies), structural geology, sedimentology, geochemistry, plate reconstruction and thermo-mechanical numerical modelling.
The Petroleum System

ISBN:
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.
