Product Description

Review

"... this book is extremely well written and easy to read ... I would highly recommend this book as an excellent introduction to the field in university courses, to those new in petroleum industry, to nongeoscientists working with geologists, and those interested in a review of petroleum geology. I recommend Selley's text for its easy and clear text and 332 illustrations, especially for college students and those interested in concise review. This text will carry forward aspects of petroleum geology into the XXI century." Marcio R. Mello, Center of Excellence of Geochemistry

"This comprehensive, stimulating book conveys information with intelligence, clear illustrations, and marvelous wit. The author writes with clarity and authority and with a grasp of the subject matter that is lightly presented." Fouad Michael, Western Geophysical, Houston, Texas, The Leading Edge

"... an authoritative piece of work written by an author with over 30 years experience. If you require an overview of petroleum geoscience, I recommend you buy the Elements of Petroleum Geology." Giancario Rizzi, Core Carbonates, PESGB Review

Fouad Michael, Western Geophysical, Houston, Texas, U.S.A.

"This comprehensive, stimulating book conveys information with intelligence, clear illustrations, and marvelous wit. The author writes with clarity and authority and with a grasp of the subject matter that is lightly presented."

5.0 out of 5 stars From an OPEC country ..., Oct 28 2001
By 
Leopoldo Farias (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Elements of Petroleum Geology (Hardcover)
Excellent book, easy to read for petroleum engineers yet quite insightful and nicely presented. A great deal of references are useful to direct further reading, this book became my preferred reference in petroleum geology. Highly recommendable.

Excelente libro, fácil de leer para ingenieros de petróleo pero no por eso superficial y además sobriamente formateado. Gran cantidad de referencias cumplen su propósito de dirigir el estudio de aquellos interesados en profundizar en cualquiera de los tópicos que cubre el autor más que satisfactoriamente. Sin duda una de mis referencias preferidas en el tema. Altamente recomendable.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the Titan of petroleum!, Jan 5 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Elements of Petroleum Geology (Hardcover)
This second edition surveys the science of petroleum geology. It describes the generation, migration, and entrapment of oil and gas, and outlines the procedures used in their location, evaluation, and production. The topics, appropriate for the geology student (and cyber-cadet seeking abiogenic petroleum anywhere in the universe), include requisite basic material from the fields of petroleum engineering and geophysics. The eight colour plates are packed with useful information.

Selley's writing style is most welcome.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great intro book, Aug 26 2010
By Max Willis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elements of Petroleum Geology (Hardcover)
This was my first introduction into the world of Petroleum Geology. I had already studied most geology in undergraduate, and used this book for an independent study in Petroleum Geology. Read it all the way through and to this day look back and realize how good of a foundation it was. Covers everything it needs to in a very readable format with good examples and illustrations.
