Deepwater Sedimentary Systems: Science, Discovery, and Applications

Deep-Water Depositional Systems: Processes, Products, and Applications presents modern applications of best practices in the exploration and production of energy resources. What may take an employee 10-15 separate courses to achieve proficiency in deep-water systems is provided here in one book. Investment decisions for exploring and producing from deep-water stratigraphic intervals first boils down to what the maps of the subsurface reveal and secondly how the economics and market outlook are defined. These are the principal concerns discussed in this book. Therefore, Deep-Water Depositional Systems will help readers understand how to map and interpret deep-water systems at various scales, all pertaining to the scales used in finding and producing petroleum resources. With the deep-water world of exploration as capital extensive and massive as the onshore global business, this reference is essential for companies, consultancies, universities and government organizations around the world. Readers will use this book as the primer for working deep-water systems.
