Quantitative Evaluation of the Whole Petroleum System [electronic resource] : Hydrocarbon Thresholds and Their Application / by Xiongqi Pang.

Introduction to Evaluation of Whole Petroleum System -- Unified Classification of Oil and Gas Reservoirs in WPS -- Buoyancy-driven Hydrocarbon Accumulation Depth in WPS.-Hydrocarbon Accumulation Depth Limit in WPS -- Active Source-rock Depth Limit in WPS -- Unified Model for Oil and Gas Reservoirs Formation -- Evaluation of Conventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs.-Prediction and Evaluation of Tight Oil and Gas Reservoirs.-Evaluation of Unconventional Shale Oil and Gas Resource.-Evaluation of Reformed and Destroyed Oil and Gas Reservoirs -- Evaluation of the Global Oil and Gas Resources -- Evaluation of the Global Potential Resource of the NGH.

This book introduces a complete quantitative evaluation system of the Whole Petroleum System (WPS) on theory and expounds the correlation and difference between conventional and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs and resources, with large number of well-prepared charts and novel expressions. It has important guiding significance for the exploration and development of conventional and unconventional oil and gas all over the world and provides valuable insights for reader with an interest in petroleum geology.
