Application of analytical techniques to petroleum systems
1 online resource : illustrations (colour), maps (colour).
Cutting-edge techniques have always been utilized in petroleum exploration & production to reduce costs & improve efficiency. The demand for petroleum in the form of oil & gas is expected to increase for electricity production, transport & chemical production, largely driven by an increase in energy consumption in the developing world. Innovations in analytical methods will continue to play a key role in the industry moving forwards as society shifts towards lower carbon energy systems & more advantaged resources are targeted. This volume brings together new analytical approaches & describes how they can be applied to the study of petroleum systems. The papers within this volume cover a wide range of topics and case studies, in the fields of fluid & isotope geochemistry, organic geochemistry, imaging & sediment provenance.
