Hydrocarbon Exploration & Production

Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production, Second Edition is a comprehensive and current introduction to the upstream industry, drawing together the many inter-disciplinary links within the industry.

Hydrocarbon exploration is regarded as one of the great challenges in industrial mathematics. This application-oriented work reflects the multi-disciplinary character of the production workflow, which ranges from seismic data analysis, through geological model building to numerical simulation of hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Hydrocarbon exploration and production incorporate great technology challenges for the oil and gas industry. In order to meet the world's future demand for oil and gas, further technological advance is needed, which in turn requires research across multiple disciplines, including mathematics, geophysics, geology, petroleum engineering, signal processing, and computer science.
