Appropriate for developing petroleum development geologists. It is also useful to exploration geologists and advanced development geologists as a reference book.
Written from the petroleum industry's point of view, the text offers an extensive outline of the most salient features of Petroleum Development Geology. Laudon explains why Development Geology is significant in a concise, easy—to—read format, with an emphasis on the reasons for becoming a Development Geologist in terms of the scientific discipline and personal ethics. The most important concepts of Development Geology are also examined, as well as its prominence in the present and the future.
