Petroleum is not as easy to find as it used to be. In order to locate and develop reserves efficiently, it's vital that geologists and geophysicists understand the geological processes that affect a reservoir rock and the oil that is trapped within it. This book is about how and to what extent, these processes may be understood. The theme of the book is the characterization of fluids in sedimentary basins, understanding their interaction with each other and with rocks, and the application of this information to finding, developing and producing oil and gas. The first part of the book describes the techniques, and the second part relates real-life case histories covering a wide range of applications. Petroleum geology, particularly exploration, involves making the best of incomplete results. It is essentially an optimistic exercise. This book will remove some of the guesswork.     Brings together the most important geochemical methods in a single volume.  Authored by two well-respected researchers in the oil industry.  Real-life, international case histories.

<p>Arundel Castle is a great Norman and medieval fortification, built after 1067 on the same plan and at the same time as Windsor. Its revival as a country house in the late-Georgian era added one of the best preserved Gothick interiors, while the late 19th-century reconstruction of the residential part makes it the largest and grandest Victorian house in England.</p>

One of the most important dynasties of medieval England, the Staffords have a fascinating story that illustrates a large sweep of social and religious history, as the title descended, in effect, through five successive families: the Norman de Toenis, the Bagots, a cadet line of the Howards of Norfolk, the Jerninghams and finally the Fitzherberts, who hold the barony today. There is one constant in the story-a Stafford held Stafford Castle in the 12th century and Lord Stafford holds it today. The author is a very distinguished historian, who illuminates an entertaining narrative with a surprising selection of pictures and portraits.
