"Petroleum prospecting is an art. The search for petroleum requires a multidisciplinary approach. The various geological, geophysical and geochemical surveys, point towards the most probable geographical locations, favourable geological structures, depositional environments, and time periods for hydrocarbon accumulations. Therefore, an encyclopaedia is required which covers all the disciplines of upstream (E & P). The aim of first volume is to make the interconnections among the different disciplines of exploration geophysics. The aim of second volume is to make the interconnection among different disciplines like—processing, interpretation, and reservoir engineering. The objective of third volume is to make it a handy reference book on geophone. At present there is no book available in the world market which gives the detail of geophone. The aim of fourth volume is to give the detail of different disciplines of production. The objective of volume five is to give detail to readers about petroleum geochemistry, petroleum geology, and petrology. This pack of encyclopaedia having five volumes will help to promote understanding and communication among users." (jacket)
