Description

Palaeomagnetism is a relatively young geoscience which incorporates aspects of geomagnetism, rock magnetism and geology. This volume investigates the use of palaeomagnetism in oil exploration and production. It presents various techniques including a newly emerging technique which wilJ be of general interest to the oil industry. 



The main areas in which palaeomagnetic data may be useful to the petroleum geologist are: palaeomagnetic dating and magnetostratigraphy; susceptibility logging of cores; magnetic fabric studies for palaeocurrent analysis; using remagnetization to date diagenetic events including those associated with hydrocarbon migration; and identification of magnetic anomalies associated with hydrocarbon plumes and oil seeps. Most papers deal with case studies performed on wells from active exploration or production locations worldwide. 



The book is the first of its kind and presents much previously unpublished data. It will be of particular interest to both academics and professionals in the oil industry.
