Language: English. About The Author: S.L.Sah passed Grad. I.E.R.E. from London in 1972. He worked in Ionospheric Research Scheme of All India Radio. He worked also with the Central elctronic Engineering Research Institute, Pilani; civil Aviation Department, Bombay and Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad. He also worked with the Oil and Natural Gas Commission to supervise the design, development, operation and repair of geophysical and communication instruments and other electonic instruments. the many accomplishmnts in his long career include design and development of audioacoustic cir4cuits; operation, repair and maintenance of ILS, VOR, AD200 and other navigational aids and development of "payloads" for rockets to monitor the lower atmosphere. He has visited IFP, france to evaluate the use of seismic sources for onshore and offshore exploration. he retired as Chief Engineer (E&T) from ONGC in 1990. He has pubolished more than 110 papers and two books.He is an Associate Member of the Instution of Engineers (India), Member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (L:ondon) and Fellow of the Institution of Instrumentation Scientists and Technologists (India). Contents: The search for petroleum requires a multidisciplinary approach. The various geological, geophysical and geochemical surveys point towards the most geographical locations, geological structures, depositional environments and periods for hydrocarbon accumulations. Therefore, an encyclopaedia with multidisciplinary approach is very much in need. This encyclopaedia fulfills all these criteria. It is a mine of information which is comprehensively dealt with in 16 volumes. This will meet the requirements of geologists, Geophysists, geochemists, science students, researchers, libraries and information centres. This will help to promote geophysical understanding. Vol. 1 : Exploration—This volume is designed as an encyclopaedic dictionary. The uses of geophysical terms are its subject matter. This also aims at to make the interconnection among the different disciplines of exploration Geophysics like survey, data acquisition, processing, arranged in alphabetical order. Vol. 2 : Processing, Interpretation and Reservoir Engineering—Seismic data processing, Seismic data interpretation, Reservoir engineering and five useful appendices are also appended in the book. These are, geophysics role in oil exploration, Logging data, etc. Vol. 3 : Geophone—There are eleven main chapters in the volume. These are—Review of geophone, Geophone response, Geophone design criteria, Testing and measurement, Selection and grouping, Distortion and its measurement, Geophone, Generation of seismic waves, Hydrophones, etc. Vol. 4 : ProductionAZ terms pertaining to the field are arranged and well explained in alphabetical order. This volume is designed as an encyclopaedic dictionary of the terms. Vol. 5 : Geochemistry, Petroleum Geology and Petrography—Petroleum geochemistry, Petroleum geology, Petrology etc. and five appendices are also attached related to the field. Vol. 6 : Surveying, Geological Field System, Seismic Stratigraphy and Log Analysis of Subsurface Geology—Surveying, Geophysical field system, Seismic stratigraphy, Log analysis of Subsurface geology. Vol. 7 : Drilling and Drilling Fluids, Well Cementing, Production and Transport of Oil as Natural Gas—Drilling and drilling fluids, Well cementing, Production and transport of oil and natural gas. Appendices. Vol. 8 : Petroleum Prospecting, Petrography and Vertical Seismic Profiling—Petroleum Prospecting, Petrography, Vertical seismic profiling (VSP). Six appendices also appended. (A) Petroleum industry, (B) Seismic method, (C) Petroleum for all work, (D) Coal and coal bed methane (CBM) of India etc. Vol. 9 : Reservoir Geophysics, World’s Giant Oil and Gas Field and Enhanced Oil Recovery. Vol. 10 : Mathematics for Signal Processing, Interior of the Planet Earth, and Fundamentals of Sedimentology. Vol. 11 : Optimization o f Petroleum.…
