Full Description

Special Publication 67

It is estimated that over 43 billion barrels of oil equivalents have been discovered on the UK continental shelf, approximately one third of which have now been produced. The need to replace reserves that will be produced during the 1990s from the much bigger fields that were found during the earlier exploration period is recognized as a tough challenge. This book is designed to help.
The volume is divided into three sections: methods, studies and case histories.
