Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This Second Edition of Elements of Petroleum Geology is completely updated and revised to reflect the vast changes in the field in the fifteen years since publication of the First Edition. This book is a usefulprimer for geophysicists, geologists, and petroleum engineers in the oil industry who wish to expand their knowledge beyond their specialized area. It is also an excellent introductory text for a university course in petroleum geoscience.
Elements of Petroleum Geology begins with an account of the physical and chemical properties of petroleum, reviewing methods of petroleum exploration and production. These methods include drilling, geophysical exploration techniques, wireline logging, and subsurface geological mapping. After describing the temperatures and pressures of the subsurface environment and the hydrodynamics of connate fluids, Selley examines the generation and migration of petroleum, reservoir rocks and trapping mechanisms, and the habit of petroleum in sedimentary basins. The book contains an account of the composition and formation of tar sands and oil shales, and concludes with a brief review of prospect risk analysis, reserve estimation, and other economic topics.
* Updates the First Edition completely
* Reviews the concepts and methodology of petroleum exploration and production
* Written by a preeminent petroleum geologist and sedimentologist with 30 years of petroleum exploration in remote corners of the world
* Contains information pertinent to geophysicists, geologists, and petroleum reservoir engineers

This book is an easy to read and offers a full coverage of topics in Petroleum Geology. I used and use it, amongst others, as a very first reference to refresh my memory, before returning to work as an exploration geophysicist.

nice book for introduction. a little bit too much detail though.
I usually scan the book very first and come back to read the details.

Excellent book, easy to read for petroleum engineers yet quite insightful and nicely presented. A great deal of references are useful to direct further reading, this book became my preferred reference in petroleum geology. Highly recommendable.
Excelente libro, fácil de leer para ingenieros de petróleo pero no por eso superficial y además sobriamente formateado. Gran cantidad de referencias cumplen su propósito de dirigir el estudio de aquellos interesados en profundizar en cualquiera de los tópicos que cubre el autor más que satisfactoriamente. Sin duda una de mis referencias preferidas en el tema. Altamente recomendable.
