A Practical Guide to Oil & Gas Resource Characterization for Geologists and Reservoir Engineers

This book provides a step-by-step resource characterization guide for both geologists and reservoir engineers. It takes related theory concepts and puts them in context in workflows that allow the geologist or engineer to complete the task of resource characterization. Both new plays and mature fields are addressed. Finally, the authors examine how to coherently present the findings from resource characterization.


Completing a resource characterization allows for quantification of hydrocarbons in a field, and determination of the value of hydrocarbons present. This book enables the user to determine the value of their hydrocarbon assets.
