Product Description
Review
"I was hooked from page one. ... At the end of the book you will feel that you have been on the course and that all you now need is the T-shirt! I commend the book highly, not only to anyone in the field or to those associated with the industry, but to everyone who wants to understand the world about them just that little bit more." -- Geoscientist
"A short, easy-to-read book that explains how petroleum occurs and how geologists explore for it. . . .A good overview of petroleum exploration and, I might add, a good reference."--Geomedia
Product Description
Over 1000 people have attended the three-day course on which this book is based since it was instituted in 1981 by JAPEC (Joint Association for Petroleum Exploration Courses). Key topics covered in this book are: the underlaying rationale for exploration; essential basic geological and geophysical exploration techniques; drilling and logging wells; an outline of reservoir geology and what constitutes reserves; and all of these topics are brought together in a case-history overview of exploration in the North Sea. The book is fully self-explanatory, needs no prior knowledge of geology or of exploration techniques, and as much as possible avoids the use of technical jargon. There is, however, a lengthy glossary of technical terms that can be used as a reference. The appeal of the book extends far beyond the audience originally envisaged for the JAPEC course. Anyone interested in finding out what petroleum exploration is all about will enjoy this volume.

Format:Paperback
Stoneley's book is a good beginner's guide to the facinating world of finding and evaluating oil and gas. The book is written with clarity and has copious illustrations. It is written for non-geologists. What this means is that it is written by exploration geologists. Hence, sometimes there is more geological detail provided than necessary and perhaps not enough engineering detail. For example, the drilling and logging section could be beefed up. Nevertheless, as an introductory text I feel the extra detail on some aspects of geology issues is a bonus and that the engineering detail is more than sufficient.
This text accompanies the eponymous JAPEC training course. See http://www.japectraining.org for details.

Extremely expensive

I am afraid these 100 pages are not worth that money. Black and white images, and too old and tired pictures. The content is in fact too vague, I am aware of the title, but is by far less than what I expected.
