BookPublisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2016Description: 1 online resource (ix, 607 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9781139198844 (ebook).Other title: Rifts & Passive Margins.Subject(s): Rifts (Geology) | Continental margins | Landforms | Geomorphology | GeodynamicsAdditional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 551.8/72 Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: Rifts and passive margins are extremely important for the petroleum industry, as they are areas of high sedimentation and can contain significant oil and gas resources. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of rifts and passive margins as a whole. It synthesises in one volume the existing information devoted to specific aspects of these vitally important hydrocarbon habitats. This collecting together of state-of-the-art information on the topic facilitates the better use of this knowledge to assess the risks of exploring and operating in these settings and the development of systematic and predictive hydrocarbon screening tools. The book will be invaluable for a broad range of readers, from advanced geology students and researchers to exploration geoscientists to exploration managers exploring for and developing hydrocarbon resources in analogous settings.
