Seismic Stratigraphy, Basin Analysis and Reservoir Characterisation, Volume 37,( 2006)

Publication Date: January 3, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0080453112 | ISBN-13: 978-0080453118 | Edition: 1

Seismic Stratigraphy Basin Analysis and Reservoir Characterisation summarizes basic seismic interpretation techniques and demonstrates the benefits of intergrated reservoir studies for hydrocarbon exploration. Topics are presented from a practical point of view and supported by well-illustrated case histories. Modern geophysical techniques allow more accurate prediction of the subsurface geology. The dynamics of sedimentary environments are discussed with global controling factors, and a link is made to high-resolution sequence stratigraphy. 

* Discusses the link between seismic stratigraphic principles and sequence stratigraphy

* Provides techniques for seismic reservoir characterization, as well as well control

* Analyzes inversion, AVO and seismic attributes

Steel Designers Manual - 6th Edition (2003)

Steel Designer's Manual, 6th Edition
Publisher: Blackwell Publishers | 1328 pages | May 2003 | ISBN 0632049251 | PDF | 10 MB

This classic manual on structural steel design provides a major source of reference for structural engineers and fabricators working with the leading construction material. Based fully on the concepts of limit state design, the manual has been revised to take account of the 2000 revisions to BS 5950. It also looks at new developments in structural steel, environmental issues and outlines the main requirements of the Eurocode on structural steel.
