Opis

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Gulf of Mexico Basin, including its reservoirs, source rocks, tectonics and evolution. Illustrated in color, it is an invaluable resource for petroleum industry professionals, and students and researchers interested in basin analysis, sedimentology, stratigraphy, tectonics and petroleum geology.

Recenzje

'The clarity of the writing, the inclusion of boxes that explain modes of interpretation, and the quality and number of figures (half of them rendered in beautiful colors) contribute significantly to supporting a unique narrative that considers both the small- and big-picture concepts associated with the dynamic paleogeography of this large geographic region. The accompanying scholarly apparatus, including a glossary of terms and a reference section comprising over 800 citations, cannot fail to impress. There is no doubt that this in-depth compilation will remain the essential reference for geologists and petroleum engineers studying and working in the Gulf of Mexico region for decades to come.' P. R. Pinet, Choice
