Overview
- A unique guide to how to use currently available oil and gas show information
- Closes the gap between interpretive understanding of hydrocarbon shows by computer applications and seismic interpretation, and rigorous testing with fundamental information from the wells themselves
- Examples of spreadsheets used to facilitate quantitative analysis are included
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Reviews
“It becomes an easy reference guide for earth scientists who have practiced their “art” for many years as well as the industry newcomer. … the book is a map on how to improve the search for hydrocarbons. The content of this book will be invaluable to our industry for years to come. The author has done us a great service.” (John B. Thomas, AAPG Bulletin, Vol. 101 (8), August, 2017)
“Mr. Dolson’s book is a long overdue work, filling a critical knowledge gap that has spanned decades of exploration and has resulted in billions of dollars in dry holes. … His years of experience with major oil companies, as well as teaching and consulting, provide an exceptional perspective on this critically important subject. … this book is an absolute must read and keep for explorationists at all levels as well as managers and engineers. … this book is highly recommended.” (David Blanchard, GEOExPro, Vol. 14 (3), May, 2017)
“This is intended as a text for professional geologists beginning a career in oil and gas exploration. The work is based on the author’s more than three decades of experience, mostly in Egypt, India, and Russia. … book is divided into nine chapters, each leading with an abstract and ending with a summary and references. Chapters are profusely illustrated with charts, diagrams, and occasional photos, mostly clear and easily readable … . Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; professionals.” (P. Larsen, Choice, Vol. 54 (6), February, 2017)
