Hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusions in Petroliferous Basins

by Vivekanandan Nandakumar, J.L. Jayanthi

Overview

Hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusions in Petroliferous Basins trains readers to detect Hydrocarbon Fluid Inclusions (HCFIs) in sedimentary rocks, particularly the wafer preparation techniques to visualize HCFIs, its distinction from aqueous inclusions, petrographic approaches to HCFIs, microthermometric observations on HCFIs, fluorescence emission spectra and Raman spectra of HCFIs, and their interpretations for the petroleum industry. The book features case studies from the Mumbai and Kerala Konkan Basins of the Western Offshore of India - two representative basins where new, non-destructive, fluid inclusion techniques were tested. This book is essential reading for students of petroleum geology and those working in exploration in the oil and gas industry.

About the Author

Dr. V. Nandakumar is a geoscientist in NCESS, India. He has vast expertise in fluid inclusion work, both in sedimentary and high-grade metamorphic rocks. Dr. V. Nandakumar has more than 28 years of experience in fluid inclusions studies, beginning from his MSc thesis on fluid inclusions in igneous and hydrothermal systems. As a continuation to his MSc thesis, his PhD work was also on fluid inclusions in cordierite bearing granulites. He also collaborated with the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Government of India to study fluid inclusions from the petroliferous basins and is developing techniques for oil exploration.

Dr. Jayanthi JL is a physicist at NCESS specialised in spectroscopic applications in fluid inclusions. She has expertise in characterising fluorescence and Raman spectra of geological and biological samples. She is currently associated in the study of fluid inclusions in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
