Originally published in 1991, this memoir offers a unique, detailed analysis on solving one of petroleum geology's most perplexing problems -- reservoir prediction.

The publication places particular emphasis on the kind of data that allows trends to be established that can be projected far into the future. It provides the foundation for readers to broaden their knowledge about past energy consumption and its sources of supply. It also furnishes a glimpse into the future of how, and how much, energy will be consumed in the 21st century and what sources will most likely supply it.

This volume contains 10 chapters on coal-bearing strata of Carboniferous through Tertiary age and is based on a special session taht was held at an AAPG Annual Meeting in New Orleans. Contributors have employed a multitude of approaches ranging from basin analysis to plant taphonomy to support a variety of views on the sequence stratigraphy, paleoclimate, and tectonics of coal-bearing strata.

Divided into two parts with 14 chapters and 5 appendices, the data presented in this volume allows faults to be mapped and correlated with more confidence than before, basin evolution to be examined over a long time period, and some relationships between tectonics and sedimentation to be studied.

This book presents detailed case histories released by Soekor (Proprietary) Ltd. of its five-year exploration programs beginning in 1987 in the Pletmos, Bredasdorp, and Orange basins.

Noted authority Andrew Robinson compiled this research for all geoscientists interested in this region stretching from Greece to the Caspian Sea. Scientists, many from the area, explore the diverse and complex geotectonism.

Published originally in 1990, this volume contains 20 presentations from the1988 AAPG Research Conference and is divided into five sections focusing on Lacustrine Basin Exploration.

The nine papers in this special issue of the AAPG Bulletin published in 2006 are dedicated to structurally controlled hydrothermal alteration of carbonate rocks and reservoirs.
