Geology of carbonate reservoirs

Description:

"This timely reference presents the information scientists need to explore and develop carbonate reservoirs in the most efficient and profitable ways. Carbonate rocks contain at least half of the world's oil and gas and much of its groundwater. Primary extraction of oil recovers about one-third of it; two-thirds waits for specialized recovery methods that depend on precise knowledge of reservoir geology." "This book's goal is to help scientists explore and develop the vast resources in carbonate reservoirs more efficiently and economically. Though the book is written for petroleum geologists, geophysicists, and engineers and students in those fields, this is also a good reference for hydrogeologists and environmental geologists because reservoirs and aquifers differ only in the fluids they contain."--Jacket.
