  • Basic Theory in Reflection Seismologyby J.K. Costain; C. Coruh

    Elsevier 2004; US$ 240.00

    The material in this volume provides the basic theory necessary to understand the principles behind imaging the subsurface of the Earth using reflection and refraction seismology. For reflection seismology, the end product is a "record section" from a collection of "wiggly traces" that are recorded in the field from which information about the properties of subsurface structure and rock can be derived. For the most part, the principles of imaging are the same regardless of the depth to the target; the same mathematical background is necessary for targeting a shallow water table as for investigating the base of the earth's continental "crust" at a depth of 30-50 km. more...

  • Seismic While Drillingby F.B. Poletto; F. Miranda

    Elsevier 2004; US$ 225.00

    The purpose of this book is to give a theoretical and practical introduction to seismic-while-drilling by using the drill-bit noise. This recent technology offers important products for geophysical control of drilling. It involves aspects typical of borehole seismics and of the drilling control surveying, hitherto the sole domain of mudlogging. For aspects related to the drill-bit source performance and borehole acoustics, the book attempts to provide a connection between experts working in geophysics and in drilling. There are different ways of thinking related to basic knowledge, operational procedures and precision in the observation of the physical quantities. The goal of the book is to help "build a bridge" between geophysicists involved... more...

  • Electromagnetic Sounding of the Earth's Interiorby Viacheslav V. Spichak

    Elsevier 2006; US$ 240.00

    Based on lectures given in the First Russian School-Seminar on electromagnetic soundings of the Earth held in Moscow on 15th November, 2003, this book acquaints scientists and technologists with the latest achievements in theory, techniques and practical applications of the methods of electromagnetic sounding. This three part text covers the methods considered for Earth electromagnetic sounding on a global, regional, and local scale; modern methods for solving forward and inverse problems of geoelectrics, particularily contemporary approaches to the EM data modeling and interpretation in the class of three-dimensional models; and the results of regional EM on-land and sea soundings * Presents theoretical and methodological findings, as well... more...

  • Seismic Stratigraphy, Basin Analysis and Reservoir Characterisationby Paul P. Veeken

    Elsevier 2006; US$ 185.00

    The interest in seismic stratigraphic techniques to interpret datasets is expanding continuously. The advent of sophisticated subsurface reservoir studies and 4D monitoring, for optimising the hydrocarbon production in existing fields, do demonstrate the importance of the 3D seismic methodology. The added value of rection seismics has clearly been proven in the last decades and it was especially beneficial on the petroleum development side. Seismic reflection profiles form a vast and solid data source of information on the structure of the subsurface. The seismic dataset gets nowadays explored in ever greater detail. These kind of investigations provide for instance a vital tool for delineation of subtle hydrocarbon traps and are essential... more...

  • Biogeochemistry in Mineral Explorationby Colin E. Dunn

    Elsevier 2007; US$ 175.00

    Significant refinements of biogeochemical methods applied to mineral exploration have been made during more than twenty years since the last major publication on this technique. This innovative, practical and comprehensive text is designed as a field handbook and an office reference volume. It outlines the historical development of biogeochemical methods applied to mineral exploration, and provides details of what, how, why and when to collect samples from all major climatic environments with examples from around the world. Recent commercialization of sophisticated analytical technology permits immensely more insight into the multi-element composition of plants. In particular, precise determination of ultra-trace levels of ?pathfinder?... more...

  • Three-Dimensional Electromagneticsby P.E. Wannamaker; Michael S. Zhdanov

    Elsevier 2002; US$ 215.00

    "3-D modeling and inversion is a reality, and not an illusion." This is the clear conclusion of the Second International Symposium on Three-Dimensional Electromagnetics held at the University of Utah in 1999. Containing papers submitted by 36 authors, this volume, by the sheer number of works, their diversity, and the truly international character of the efforts attests to the vigor with which the problems of the field are pursued today. The papers in this book are grouped in three parts: 3-D EM modeling; 3-D EM inversion; and 3-D EM in practice. They cover a wide range of topics in forward modeling and inversion based on new fast approximate approaches and new efficient solutions by integral equation, finite difference and finite elements... more...

  • Mathematical Methods and Modelling in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Productionby Armin Iske; Trygve Randen; Stavanger Research

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 159.00

    Hydrocarbon exploration and production incorporate great technology challenges for the oil and gas industry. In order to meet the world's future demand for oil and gas, further technological advance is needed, which in turn requires research across multiple disciplines, including mathematics, geophysics, geology, petroleum engineering, signal processing, and computer science. This book addresses important aspects and fundamental concepts in hydrocarbon exploration and production. Moreover, new developments and recent advances in the relevant research areas are discussed, whereby special emphasis is placed on mathematical methods and modelling. The book reflects the multi-disciplinary character of the hydrocarbon production workflow, ranging... more...

  • Giant Metallic Depositsby Peter Laznicka

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 269.00

    Written by the author of "Empirical Metallogeny" book series and founder of the Data Metallogenica visual knowledge system on mineral deposits of the world. This comprehensive book focuses on the subject that provides facts rather than rapidly changing theories. It provides material for comparative research in metallogeny. more...
