\ BooknewsCovers the process of petroleum exploration from identifying its features within the earth's crust, to its extraction in the wells. Rudimentary diagrams compliment explanations of such topics as the nature of oil and gas; the earth's crust; identification of common rocks and minerals; source rocks, generation, migration, and accumulation of petroleum; geological and geochemical petroleum exploration; drilling preliminaries, mechanics, and techniques; reservoir mechanics and reserves; and improved oil recovery.
