Petroleum Science and Technology

<p><strong><em>Petroleum Science and Technology: Petroleum Generation Accumulation and Prospecting</em></strong> describes natural hydrocarbon geology along with applicable aspects of physics chemistry biology environmental science mathematics and engineering/technology. It starts off with a brief coverage of the origin and evolution of the universe petroleum origin and generation in subsurface condition source rock oil/gas migration path and reservoir rock. Geological geophysical and geochemical petroleum surveys are also included. This book covers both theory and applied information. Aimed at graduate students researchers and professionals in petroleum engineering and chemical engineering it: </p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Covers petroleum geology and technology including petroleum generation migration and reservoir formation </li> <p> </p> <li>Introduces the nature and formation of petroleum and its exploration </li> <p> </p> <li>Describes oil/gas prospecting using geophysico-chemical methods under subsurface condition </li> <p> </p> <li>Includes a detailed geochemical survey along with an analysis of kerogen and bitumen </li> <p> </p> <li>Explains petroleum migration and accumulation using two-dimensional graphs</li> </ul><p>MA Quddus PhD has served in the petroleum sector and R&D organization both national and multinational for more than 40 years and has worked in various capacities including in the laboratory office field and plant and has also engaged in teaching petroleum technology as a visiting professor for 17 years.
