Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book to use as a reference book. This is a highly disappointing purchase. The editing is horrendous, there are numerous misspellings, nonsensical sentences, the outline is random within the chapters, and there is too much slang. While the breadth of topics is admirable, and the reason I purchased the book, the depth is extremely shallow. So shallow, I find this book is only good for it's references. To add insult to injury, many of the references are simply from the monthly industry magazines (by SEG and EAGE.) Many of the figures are not self explanatory or don't have the visual clues to focus the reader's attention and sometimes the captions are essentially the same sentences as seen in the text. Luckily, my company paid for this, so this is not money out of my pocket...

The interest in seismic stratigraphic techniques to interpret reflection datasets is well established. The advent of sophisticated subsurface reservoir studies and 4D monitoring, for optimising the hydrocarbon production in existing fields, does demonstrate the importance of the 3D seismic methodology. The added value of reflection seismics to the petroleum industry has clearly been proven over the last decades. Seismic profiles and 3D cubes form a vast and robust data source to unravelthe structure of the subsurface. It gets nowadays exploited in ever greater detail. Larger offsets and velocity anisotropy effects give for instance access to more details on reservoir flow properties like fracture density, porosity and permeability distribution, Elastic inversion and modelling may tell something about the change in petrophysical parameters. Seismicinvestigations provide a vital tool for the delineation of subtle hydrocarbon traps. They are the basis for understanding the regional basin framework and the stratigraphic subdivision. Seismic stratigraphy combines two very different scales of observation: the seismic and well-control. The systematic approach applied in seismic stratigraphy explains why many workers are using the principles to evaluate their seismic observations. The here presented modern geophysical techniques allow more accurate prediction of the changes in subsurface geology. Dynamics of sedimentary environments are discussed with its relation to global controling factors and a link is made to high-resolution sequence stratigraphy. 'Seismic Stratigraphy Basin Analysis and Reservoir Characterisation' summarizes basic seismic interpretation techniques and demonstrates the benefits of intergrated reservoir studies for hydrocarbon exploration. Topics are presented from a practical point of view and are supported by well-illustrated case histories. The reader (student as well as professional geophysicists, geologists and reservoir engineers) is taken from a basic level to more advanced study techniques.* Discusses the link between seismic stratigraphic principles and sequence stratigraphy*Provides techniques for seismic reservoir characterization, as well aswell control*Analyzes inversion, AVO and seismic attributes
