Book Description
Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally important to the petroleum industry. Covering the entire scale from the microscopic to the continental, this textbook is an unrivalled consolidation of all topics related to salt tectonics: evaporite deposition and flow, salt structures, salt systems, and practical applications. Coverage of the principles of salt tectonics is supported by more than 600 color illustrations, including 200 seismic images captured by state-of-the-art geophysical techniques and tectonic models from the Applied Geodynamics Laboratory at the University of Texas, Austin. These combine to provide a cohesive and wide-ranging insight into this extremely visual subject. This is the definitive practical handbook for professional geologists and geophysicists in the petroleum industry, an invaluable textbook for graduate students, and a reference textbook for researchers in various geoscience fields.
Brines and Evaporites
Author: Peter SonnenfeldPublisher: American Geophysical Union
ISBN: 9780875907079
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Short Courses in Geology Series, Volume 3. This course is designed to present fundamental concepts and constraints of evaporitic mineral precipitation in different depositional environments, a discussion of the concentration of attendant accessory accumulations of clastics, base metals and hydrocarbons, an integrated overview of epigenetic alteration of evaporite deposits, and a systematic analysis of ancient evaporite basin configurations. These notes present case histories of current evaporite deposition in the hope that they will provide the keys to a better understanding of ancient salt basins. The data presented here essentially rely on basins studied by the author and his coworkers. Although this choice may appear somewhat limited to some readers familiar with classical models, the examples shown here cover the main present-day geological settings. Furthermore, observations on pre-evaporitic deposits were also introduced.

Evaporites
Author: John K. WarrenPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319135120
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1822
Book Description
The monograph offers a comprehensive discussion of the role of evaporites in hydrocarbon generation and trapping, and new information on low temperature and high temperature ores. It also provides a wealth of information on exploitable salts, in a comprehensive volume has been assembled and organized to provide quick access to relevant information on all matters related to evaporites and associated brines. In addition, there are summaries of evaporite karst hazards, exploitative methods and problems that can arise in dealing with evaporites in conventional and solution mining. This second edition has been revised and extended, with three new chapters focusing on ore minerals in different temperature settings and a chapter on meta-evaporites. Written by a field specialist in research and exploration, the book presents a comprehensive overview of the realms of low- and high-temperature evaporite evolution. It is aimed at earth science professionals, sedimentologists, oil and gas explorers, mining geologists as well as environmental geologists.
