About This Book
The most utilized technique for exploring the Earth's subsurface for petroleum is reflection seismology. However, asolefocus onreflectionseismology often misses opportunities to integrate other geophysical techniquessuch as gravity, magnetic, resistivity, and other seismicity techniques, which have tended to be used in isolationand by specialist teams. There is now growing appreciation that these technologies usedin combination withreflectionseismologycanproduce more accurate images of the subsurface. This book describes how these different field techniques can be used individually and in combination with each other and with seismic reflection data. World leading experts present chapters covering different techniques and describe when, where, and how to apply them to improve petroleum exploration and production. It also explores the use of such techniques in monitoring CO2 storage reservoirs. Including case studies throughout, it will be an invaluable resource for petroleum industry professionals, advanced students, and researchers.
