Overview
- No volume of this magnitude (comprehensive, up-to-date, written by experts) and format (a reference Encyclopedia in a non-technical language) in the field exists
- Offers a multi-disciplinary coverage including petroleum geology, geochemistry, geophysics, exploration and development, basin modeling, reservoir simulation, and unconventional hydrocarbon resources
- As a reference book, it will be of use for libraries, universities, petroleum companies, teachers, students, researchers and professionals in the relevant disciplines
- The focus of the volume is on the petroleum exploration/development geoscience, not the petroleum industry (production), economics, geopolitics or history
- Written in a language understandable to university students and readers in other disciplines
- Given the significance of energy resources and petroleum industry, the volume has global sales potential
