Seismic Geology and Basin Analysis

Seismic Geology and Basin Analysis: Case Studies on Sedimentary Basins in China introduces the principles, approaches and techniques needed to solve problems using seismic data calibrated with well log, cores and outcrop profiles. The book emphasizes the adoption of seismic techniques into basin analysis and broadens the usage of seismic data in geological research which may be referred to as “seismic geology.? The principle of the book is mainly summarized from a series of case studies in different basins in China. In addition, through this book readers can understand the primary characteristics and basin fill evolution of major petroleum basins around the world.

When starting research on a basin, researchers and professionals are confronted with how to reveal the general architecture of basin fills and depict three-dimensional geometry, and the internal architecture of subsurface depositional bodies and their arrangement, hence this book is a great tome on necessary areas of exploration.

• Examines the adoption of seismic techniques into basin analysis and broadens the usage of seismic data in geological research
• Includes seismic, well log, core and outcrop data, as well as high resolution 3D seismic profiles and slices
• Features case studies to further illustrate principles and approaches described in the book, which can be applied to similar basins around the world
