Petroleum and Basin Evolution Insights from Petroleum Geochemistry, Geology and Basin Modeling

Petroleum and Basin Evolution This book is a mosaic of important building blocks bringing together the evolution of petroleum and the dynamic geological framework of sedimentary basins. Both basin modeling and organic geochemistry serve important roles in this context. Geochemical data and interpret...
