Oil Exploration: Basin Analysis and Economics - Tapa dura

"This book is a much needed addition to the available texts on this newly emerging subject. Dr. Lerche is very knowledgeable on the material and his background in both industry and academia allows him to address the needs of both groups."--JAMES A. MACKAY, Texaco Exploration Research

This book presents the quantitative procedures for assessing predictions of potential oil recovery (basin size, hydrocarbon content), and economic impact (exploration cost, production, transport, refining). Emphasis is placed on advances made in analytical methods and improved techniques developed during the last decade. The book is intended for oil exploration personnel in industry, graduate students in economic geology, and researchers in petroleum engineering.
