Understanding Oil and Gas Shows and Seals in the Search for Hydrocarbons
This book explains in detail how to use oil and gas show information to find hydrocarbons. It covers the basics of exploration methodologies, drilling and mud systems, cuttings and mud gas show evaluation, fundamental log analysis, the pitfalls of log-calculated water saturations, and a complete overview of the use of pressures to understand traps and migration, hydrodynamics, and seal and reservoir quantification using capillary pressure. Also included are techniques for quickly generating pseudo-capillary pressure curves from simple porosity/permeability data, with examples of how to build spreadsheets in Excel, and a complete treatment of fluid inclusion analysis and fluid inclusion stratigraphy to map migration pathways. In addition, petroleum systems modeling and fundamental source rock geochemistry are discussed in depth, particularly in the context of unconventional source rock evaluation and screening tools for entering new plays. The book is heavily illustrated with numerous examples and case histories from the author’s 37 years of exploration experience. The topics covered in this book will give any young geoscientist a quick start on a successful career and serve as a refresher for the more experienced explorer.
Proceedings of the International Field Exploration and Development Conference 2024
This book compiles selected papers from the 14th International Field Exploration and Development Conference (IFEDC 2024). The work focuses on topics including Reservoir Exploration, Reservoir Drilling & Completion, Field Geophysics, Well Logging, Petroliferous Basin Evaluation, Oil & Gas Accumulation, Fine Reservoir Description, Complex Reservoir Dynamics and Analysis, Low Permeability/Tight Oil & Gas Reservoirs, Shale Oil & Gas, Fracture-Vuggy Reservoirs, Enhanced Oil Recovery in Mature Oil Fields, Enhanced Oil Recovery for Heavy Oil Reservoirs, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, Formation Mechanisms and Prediction of Deep Carbonate Reservoirs, and other Unconventional Resources. The conference serves as a platform not only for exchanging experiences but also for advancing scientific research in oil & gas exploration and production. The primary audience for this work includes reservoir engineers, geological engineers, senior engineers, enterprise managers, and students.
The Economics of the Oil and Gas Industry

Energy is a key resource for transformational development globally. Oil and gas continue to play a key role in this sector irrespective of the gradual transition towards renewables and will continue to do so in most developing and emerging economies in the near future. The industry is complex and highly capital intensive not only with significant risk, but also with significant benefits. Such a complex but important sector is generally not well understood both in academic and policy circles. This book fills this void by serving as a comprehensive reference to the oil and gas sector, with a focus on emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). It offers in-depth coverage of the critical and contemporary issues in the economics of the oil and gas industry by carefully integrating the relevant theoretical underpinnings and practical policy issues across the value chain of the industry in relation to the development, fiscal arrangements, and the economic and financing aspects of the industry. These insights will significantly deepen the understanding of the industry and extend knowledge of the sector in ways that existing books do not. The book includes relevant cases and, thus, will serve as a valuable resource for students taking courses in market analysis of the oil and gas industry, energy economics, development economics and finance, environmental and resource economics, the political economy of the extractive industry, and development studies. Researchers and practitioners working in these areas will also find the book to be a useful reference guide.
