Petroleum Sedimentology

Knowledge of the principles and methods of petroleum sedimentology is essential for oil and gas exploration and exploitation. Source rock lithology and type of trap define the quality of hydrocarbon accumulation. This interrelationship is exemplified by seven case histories worldwide. Moreover, successful exploitation and enhanced oil recovery often depend on an adequate knowledge of the sedimentology of a reservoir.
