This is a useful primer for geophysicists, geologists and petroleum engineers in the oil industry as well as an excellent introductory text for a university course in petroleum geoscience. This edition includes new case studies on non-conventional exploration, including tight oil and shale gas exploration, as well as coverage of the impacts on petroleum geology on the environment. Sections on shale reservoirs, flow units and containers, IOR and EOR, giant petroleum provinces, halo reservoirs, and resource estimation methods are also expanded.
