Global Neoproterozoic Petroleum Systems: The Emerging Potential in North Africa: No. 326 (Geological Society of London Special Publications) - Tapa dura

Neoproterozoic successions are geological features that produce hydrocarbon. This work looks at basins and other geological features in North Africa as potential sources of hydrocarbons, exploring aspects of petroleum systems, Neoproterozoic tectonics, and global climatic models. Material in the first part of the book surveys the current state of knowledge on the Neoproterozoic, in the areas of stratigraphy, paleogeography, geochronology, and Infracambrian petroleum systems. Subsequent chapters report on research in North Africa, India, Spain, Namibia, and South America. Color and b&w photos and maps are included. Material originated as papers from a November 2006 conference. Craig is affiliated with Eni Exploration and Production Division, Italy. The book is distributed in the US by The Geological Society.
