Geology and Geochemistry of Oil and Gas, (Developments in Petroleum Science, Volume 52), G. V. Chilingar, L. A. Buryakovsky, N. A. Eremenko, and M. V. Gorfunkel, Elsevier B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 390 Pages ISBN: 0-444-52053-8

This book is composed of eleven chapters and three appendices. It is intended for students, scientists, and engineers. Chapter 1 introduces systems approach in science. It starts with defining natural systems and their classification. It goes on with identifying rocks, water, organic matter, and gases as a specific natural system. Chapter 2 addresses oiland gas-bearing rocks. It begins with describing composition of oiland gas-bearing rocks. Then, it introduces reservoir rocks and their important characteristics, porosity and permeability. Chapter 3 focuses on temperature and pressure in the subsurface. First, it discusses deformation of rocks in depth. Chapter 4 copes with water that plays a vital role in the environment of the Earth’s upper crust. Chapter 5 covers crude oils and examines the composition of crude oils. Chapter 6 deals with the composition of natural gas and gas condensate. This chapter also discusses phase transformation and condensates due to changes in the reservoir pressure and temperature. Chapter 7 addresses dispersed organic matter that is classified into insoluble and soluble in organic solvents, as indicated by the authors. Chapter 8 analyzes the origin of oil and natural gas and describes the organic matter and transformation processes. Chapter 9 deals with formation of hydrocarbon accumulations such as the occurrence of oil and gas fields in sedimentary basins. Chapter 10 discusses the classifications of oil and gas accumulations. The oil and gas accumulations are classified based on the size of their reserves and production rate. Chapter 11 focuses on mathematical modeling in petroleum geology and introduces the principles of mathematical modeling of geologic systems. The three appendices at the end of the book complement the eleven chapters and cover respectively the wettability and capillarity, the permeability, and the book glossary. The first appendix presents interfacial tension and contact angle, the effect of contact angle and interfacial tension on movement of oil, and buoyancy. This book deals with a comprehensive approach and modeling in petroleum geology. The authors mingle a thorough and clear approach to oil and gas geology and geochemistry and show how geology and geochemistry are applied to petroleum science and engineering to solve compound problems that the petroleum engineers and geologists confront daily. Overall, this book can benefit all practicing engineers as well as students and scientists.
