Product Description
Basin Analysis is an up–to–date overview of the essential processes of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, and their implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources. The new edition features:

- A discussion on the major types of lithospheric deformation relevant to basin development – stretching and flexure.
- A new chapter on the effects of mantle dynamics.
- Radically revised chapters on the basin–fill.
- A new chapter on the erosional engine for sediment delivery to basins, reflecting the massive and exciting advances in this area in the last decade.
- Expansion of the techniques used in approaching problems in basin analysis.
- Updated chapters on subsidence analysis and measurements of thermal maturity of organic and non–organic components of the basin–fill.
- New material on thermochronological and exposure dating tools.
- Inclusion of the important petroleum system concept in the updated section on the application to the petroleum play.

PRoduct in very good condition and arrived within a few days of purchase would recommend both the seller and the book as it covers a lot of the the aspects involved in Oil and Gas Exploration. Helps one with some previous sedimentological knowledge adjust to looking at rocks from a petroleum systems perspective.

Good reference text
5 May 2008
Format:Paperback
I bought this book as a reference to refresh my mind on Basin Anaysis before returning to work. It has all the essentials if you like the mathematical approach. I found it a bit dry and the diagrams could have used a bit of colour. All in all it is was it is, a text book.
