Petroleum geoscience comprises those geoscientific
disciplines which are of greatest significance for the
exploration and recovery of oil and gas. These
include petroleum geology, of which sedimentary
geology is the main foundation along with the
contextual and modifying principles of regional,
tectonic and structural geology. Additionally,
biostratigraphy and micropalaeontology, organic
geochemistry, and geophysical exploration and production
techniques are all important tools for petroleum
geoscientists in the 21st century. This comprehensive
textbook present an overview of petroleum geoscience for
geologists destined for the petroleum industry. It should also be useful
for students interested in environmental geology, engineering geology
and other aspects of sedimentary geology
