Summary:

Organic petrology is a discipline of geology which integrates multidisciplinary approaches for the exploration and evaluation of fossil fuel resources by conventional and unconventional procedures. Organic petrology has brought forth new powerful analytical tools for the characterization of geological hydrocarbon systems thus providing information where previous analytical techniques prove to be less effective. The reference provides a broad comprehensive source of information about the application of organic petrology in the investigation of geological formations related with the production and accumulation of oil and gas. Eleven chapters cover a variety of topics (kerogens dispersed organic matter systems sedimentary organic matter systems oil and gas shales etc.). Additional information in chapters referring to examples in specific geographical locations provides a global perspective of hydrocarbon exploration. The book is an introductory reference for all scholars involved in applied organic petrology of hydrocarbon systems including graduate and undergraduate geology students engineers and lab technicians. [Series intro] Geology: Current and Future Developments is a book series that brings together the latest contributions to geological research. Each volume features chapters contributed by academic scholars / professional experts from around the world. The scope of the book series includes (but is not limited to) topics such as plate tectonics climate science hydrocarbon exploration mineral exploration and environmental science. This series is intended as a useful compendium of scholarly reference material for geology students and professionals.
