This book provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the
applications of chemostratigraphy. The first chapter of the book offers
an introduction to the technique. This is followed by a chapter
detailing sample preparation and analytical techniques. Chapter 3
focuses on the techniques utilised to establish the mineralogical
affinities of elements, while the general principles of how to build a
chemostratigraphic scheme are covered in Chapter 4. Chapters 5, 6 and 7
provide information on the applications of chemostratigraphy to clastic,
carbonate and unconventional reservoirs respectively, and various case
studies are presented. Wellsite applications, a discussion and
conclusion section form the latter part of the book.
The book will appeal to graduate and post graduate students of geology
and professionals working in the hydrocarbon sector as a key reference
text in chemostratigraphy.
