Petroleum Systems Of Deepwater Settings (Distinguished Instructor Series). This item is unavailable.Petroleum Systems Of Deepwater Settings (Distinguished Instructor Series)

This book is based on the 2004 SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course, which provides geophysicists with a broad overview of the petroleum systems of deepwater settings. This review covers recent trends in deepwater deposits in terms of drilling results and introduces the elements of the petroleum system - reservoirs, traps, seals, source rock, migration, and timing. The book includes a summary of what is important in the exploration for and development of deepwater systems. The application of these techniques to each geophysicist's current projects is key, as is the difference between frontier exploration and exploration in mature basins with deeper potential. Examples from three or four basins distributed globally illustrate the principles. These examples also demonstrate that there is deepwater potential in most basins globally.

Colin Sayers is a scientific advisor in the Schlumberger Data & Consulting Services Geomechanics Group in Houston, Texas, providing consultancy in geophysics, rock physics, drilling and reservoir geomechanics, and characterization of fractured reservoirs. He joined Shell's Exploration and Production Laboratory in Rijswijk, the Netherlands, in 1986 and moved to Schlumberger in 1991. His technical interests also include pore-pressure prediction, analysis of wellbore stability, analysis of production-induced reservoir stress changes, subsidence, fault reactivation, 3D mechanical earth modeling, sanding, fractured reservoir evaluation, borehole/seismic integration, stress-dependent acoustics, advanced sonic logging, AVAZ, and fluid flow in fractured reservoirs.

Sayers is a member of AGU, EAGE, SEG, and SPE, the SEG Research Committee, and the editorial boards of The Leading Edge and the International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Science. He has a B.A. in physics from the University of Lancaster, U. K., and a D.I.C. in mathematical physics and Ph.D. in physics, both from Imperial College, London, U. K. He has published numerous papers and holds several patents.
