Basin Analysis

Beschreibung

Basin Analysis is an up-to-date overview of the essentialprocesses of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, andtheir implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources.The new edition features: * A consideration of the fundamental physical state of thelithosphere. * A discussion on the major types of lithospheric deformationrelevant to basin development - stretching and flexure. * A new chapter on the effects of mantle dynamics. * Radically revised chapters on the basin-fill. * A new chapter on the erosional engine for sediment delivery tobasins, reflecting the massive and exciting advances in this areain the last decade. * Expansion of the techniques used in approaching problems inbasin analysis. * Updated chapters on subsidence analysis and measurements ofthermal maturity of organic and non-organic components of thebasin-fill. * New material on thermochronological and exposure datingtools. * Inclusion of the important petroleum system concept in theupdated section on the application to the petroleum play.
