Recent Developments in Petroleum Science

Petroleum science is a broad term that integrates the principles of petroleum engineering, petroleum geology and exploration geophysics. Petroleum geology studies the origin, movement and exploration of hydrocarbon fuels. It evaluates different elements of sedimentary basins such as reservoir, seal, trap, timing, maturation and migration. Geophysical survey data is applied in exploration geophysics to analyze potential reservoirs of petroleum. Methods used for finding such deposits include ...
