| Summary |
The Gold-Standard "Bible" for Subsurface Geological Mapping: Extensively Updated for the Field's Latest Advances Long recognized as the most authoritative, practical, and comprehensive guide to structural mapping methods, Applied Three-Dimensional Subsurface Geological Mapping, Third Edition, has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent technical developments, with an emphasis on shale play basins, unconventional resources, and modern workflows. The authors of this edition have more than a century of collective experience in hydrocarbon exploration and development, and in this long-awaited update, they present new chapters on computer mapping, shale basin exploration, and prospect reserves and risk analysis. They introduce key innovations related to shale reservoirs, hydraulic fracturing, deviated wells, and directional wells, and expanded discussions of computer geologic interpretation and mapping. Throughout, the book links theory and practice to help you integrate all available geologic, engineering, and geophysical data, generate more reasonable subsurface interpretations, and build maps that successfully identify reserves. Master core principles and proven methods for accurate subsurface interpretation and mapping Construct subsurface maps and cross-sections from well logs, seismic sections, and outcrops Work effectively with directionally drilled wells and directional surveys Use powerful log correlation techniques Build fault and structure maps Balance and interpret compressional and extensional structures Characterize strike-slip faults and growth structures Understand isochore and isopach maps This book is indispensable for every geologist, geophysicist, and engineer who prepares subsurface geological interpretations and maps, as well as for every manager, executive, and investor who uses or evaluates them |
