Infos

Professor Li's World Atlas of Oil and Gas Basins is a
fresh and comprehensive treatise of the distribution of the
world's hydrocarbon reserves. The Atlas highlights the
geographical, sedimentary and geological features of the basins,
using a combination of maps and stratigraphic diagrams to depict
the history, prospectivity and commercial production capacity of
the reserves on a continental and country-by-country
basis.



The Atlas is an essential reference source for petroleum geologists
and reservoir engineers working in hydrocarbon exploration and
production. It is also a valuable and original teaching aid for
university graduate and postgraduate courses.



The Atlas provides a welcome addition to the global database of the
world's energy resources and is therefore an indispensable
source of information for the formulation of future strategies to
exploit oil and gas reserves.



Written by one of China's foremost petroleum geologists, the
Atlas provides a rare analysis of the industry from the perspective
of the country whose demand for oil and gas is set to become the
largest in the next few decades. It is an important and vital
scholarly work.

Autor

Born in China's northern Gansu Province, Professor Li Guoyu was educated at Lanzhou University and Beijing Petroleum Geology College. He has written close to 70 books and more than 30 scholarly papers on petroleum geology and has spent many years developing a theory of Sedimentary Basins that portrays an optimistic prognosis of oil and gas reserves in the world. Li Guoyu has combined his academic research with industry experience working with China's largest petroleum company and the Chinese Ministry of Energy. He is an Honorary Academician with the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. Li Guoyu is married with children and grandchildren and resides in Beijing.

Rezensionen

"It is also useful for teaching petroleum geology as the
maps and cross-sections provide many good examples ... I found
the book very easy to use. The maps and cross-sections are easily
understood." (Reference Reviews, 2012)

"Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and
above; general readers." (Choice, 1 August 2011)

"This is a truly remarkable atlas . . . Therefore, the atlas is
presented as an 'indispensible source of information for the
development of future strategies to exploit oil and gas reserves .
. . On the contrary, because of its global perspective and the
links between geology and production history, the quick overview of
the geological potential and the hydrocarbon industry of different
countries or basins may be of great use to general managers,
journalists, students, or the interested public." (Geologica
Belgica, 1 September 2011)
