The reserves, or extractable fraction, of the fuel-mineral endowment are sufficient to supply the bulk of the world's energy requirements for the immediately forseeable future-well into the next century according to even the most pessimistic predictions.
Campbell's Atlas of Oil and Gas Depletion, Second Edition, is the product of a half-century of critical analysis and updating of data on the status of oil and gas depletion by country, region and the world as a whole.
Coated grains have always attracted attention, at first of naturalists, and later of geologists, and the interest in these peculiar bodies was re- lated both to their intriguing form and their significance in facies inter- pretation and sedimentology and to their relevance to accumulations of hydrocarbons and other mineral deposits.
This book is devoted to the most relevant issues in crystal chemistry and mineral typomorphism; the structure, physico-chemical and technological properties of minerals; and the computational modeling of mineral structure and properties.
Most of the world s energy still comes from fossil fuels, and there are still many strides being made in the efficiency and cost effectiveness of extracting these important and increasingly more elusive natural resources.
Sedimentary basins host, among others, most of our energy and fresh-water resources: they can be regarded as large geo-reactors in which many physical and chemical processes interact.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.
Only a few years ago, if you needed an appraisal of The revolution in the personal property appraisals gems and jewelry for any reason, you asked your local field (of which jewelry is a part) is a little more than a jeweler, who hastily scribbled a one-line handwritten decade old.
After the spectacular successes of the 1960's and 1970's, the mineral exploration business is at a crossroads, facing uncertain t:imes in the decades ahead.
This book focuses on reservoir surveillance and management, reservoir evaluation and dynamic description, reservoir production stimulation and EOR, ultra-tight reservoir, unconventional oil and gas resources technology, oil and gas well production testing, and geomechanics.
In modern sediment research on contaminants five aspects are discussed which, in an overlapping succession, also reflect develop- ment of knowledge on particle-associated pollutants during the past twenty-five years: (1) identification of sources and their distribution; (2) evaluation of solid/solution relations; (3) study of transfer mecha- nisms to biological systems; (4) assessment of environment impact; and (5) selection and further development of remedial measures, in par- ticular, of dredged materials.
This volume of Advanced Mineralogy encompasses six different areas having two features in common: they are related to one of the largest enterprises of the second half of this century; and represent the ultimate and final extension of the concept of mineral matter.
The book summarizes research work on the Wajid Sandstone, which provides integrated field and laboratory data to enable a detailed description of this unit including a facies analysis, porosity data, as well as permeability data to establish aquifer models.
Seismic Data Analysis Techniques in Hydrocarbon Exploration explains the fundamental concepts and skills used to acquire seismic data in the oil industry and the step-by-step techniques necessary to extract the sections that trap hydrocarbons as well as seismic data interpretation skills.
Rutley's elements of mineralogy has been around for a long time, certainly throughout my own lifetime; and if my great grandfather had read geology, it would have been prescribed reading for him too!
Introduction to Mineralogy and Petrology presents the essentials of both disciplines through an approach accessible to industry professionals, academic researchers, and students.
This conference proceedings presents the research papers in the field of mine planning and mining equipment including themes such as mine automation, rock mechanics, drilling, blasting, tunnelling and excavation engineering.
Diese Einführung in die Anwendung der geostatistischen Methoden basiert auf langjährigen Lehrerfahrungen und praktischen Tätigkeiten der Autoren und eignet sich hervorragend als Begleitbuch zu Vorlesungen und Kursen, wobei nur geringe Kenntnisse der Statistik vorausgesetzt werden.
Ausgehend von der geologischen Struktur Oberägyptens und der mineralogischen Zusammensetzung der Gesteine gehen die Autoren mit reichhaltigem Bildmaterial auf Spurensuche in alten ägyptischen Steinbrüchen.
The book presents isotope-geochemical investigations of the world's largest reserves of copper, nickel, and platinum-group elements in the Norilsk ore region.
Seabed logging (SBL) gathers the electromagnetic methods of marine subsoil exploration and more specifically those dedicated to the exploration of oil and gas at sea.
This book providesinformation on the distribution of the available energy resources throughoutthe continent and how it is linked to the development of individual states.
This book provides an overview of the application of IR spectroscopy in mineralogical investigations, as well as modern trends in the IR spectroscopy of minerals.
1000 (deg)C) and low pressures (< 2 kb) and typically results in the formation of "e;burnt"e; and fused rocks termed buchites, paralavas, clinkers and fulgarites.
This book highlights the basics of crystal optics methods and refractive index (RI) measurement techniques in various solids, as well as their scientific and technological applications.
This book mainly investigates the adsorption of anionic diclofenac sodium on natural clay minerals, the adsorption of anionic chloramphenicol on natural clay minerals and the behavior of surface and interface modification or adsorption on clay minerals.
Modern approaches to the theoretical computation and experimental determination of NMR shielding tensors are described in twenty-nine papers based on lectures presented at the NATO ARW.
This book is the successor to A practical introduction to optical mineralogy, which was written in the early 1980s, and published by George Allen & Unwin in 1985.
With the new global tectonics approach in the Earth Sciences, the quan- titative aspects of the dynamics of rock-forming processes came into focus: geologists are no longer satisfied knowing the pressure-tempera- ture conditions of the formation of a metamorphic rock or of the emplace- ment of a magmatic body, but instead would like to learn the time history of these rocks as well, i.
This book briefs beamline providers and users on what to look for when selecting experiments for a given type of facility and beamline so that beamtime usage and effectiveness can be maximized.
