Book Description

The new second edition of this authoritative book has retained all the virtues of the best-selling original, explaining the unique challenges of oil and gas exploration and production in the world's deepwater provinces. New chapters on geology and geophysics, rigs, and service vehicles are included, and the engineering and scientific schemes used in deepwater are covered in greater detail. Case studies in several chapters give practical examples, while the final chapter presents the latest technology employed in a "third wave" of industry evolution.

Customer Reviews

Has more than I even anticipated. Thorough and precise. I have learnt a lot from this book especially the Basic geosciences and then came the deep water drilling part. I am so impress.

An excellent read if you want, or need, to know more about the beginnings and development of oil exploration offshore. I have only read about 30% of the book so far but my knowledge has certainly increased and it has given me a far greater understanding of oil exploration offshore.

Congratulations to the authors for producing a book that is easy to understand even if the readers subject knowledge is limited.
