Petroleum prospecting is an art.The search for petroleum requires a multi-disciplinary approach. The various geological, geophysical and geochmeical surveys, point towards the most probable geographical locations, favourable geological structures, depositional environments, and time periods for hydrocarbon accumulations. Therefore, an encyclopaedia is required which covers all the disciplines of upstream (E&P). The aim of these eleven volumes is to make the interconnections among the different disciplines of exploration geophysics, geology, geoscience, drilling engineering, production, transportation, storing, etc. These eleven voluems of "Encyclopaedia of Petroleum Science and Engineering' will help to promote understanding and communication among users. These volumes are suitable for geophyscists, geologists, scientists, universities, organizations, teachers, students and other working in different disciplines of petroleum science and enegineering reference books.
