Synopsis Petroleum prospecting is an art. The search for petroleum requires a multi-disciplinary approach. The various geological, geophysical and geochemical surveys, point towards the most probable geographical locations, favourable geological structures, depositional environments, and time periods for hydrocarbon accumulations. Therefore, an encyclopaedia is required which covers all the disciplines of upstream (E&P). The aim of these volumes is to make the interconnections among the different disciplines of exploration geophysics, geology, geoscience, drilling engineering, production, transportation, storing etc. These volumes of "Encyclopaedia of Petroleum Science and Engineering" will help to promote understanding and communication among users. These volumes are suitable for geophysicists, geologists, scientists, universities, organizations, teachers, students and other working in different disciplines or petroleum science and engineering. These volumes will serve to readers and users as reference books. The content of these volumes are: I-Exploration, II-Processing, interpretation and reservoir engineering, III-Geophone, IV-Production, V-Geochemsitry, petroleum geology and petrology, VI-Surveying, geophysical field system, seismic stratigraphy and log analysis of subsurface geology, VII-Drilling and drilling fluids, well cementing, production and transport of oil and natural gas, VIII-Petroleum prospecting, petrography and vertical seismic profiling, IX -Reservoir geophysics, world's giant oil and gas field and enhanced oil recovery, X-Mathematics for signal processing, interior of the planet earth, and fundamentals of sedimentology, XI-Optimization of petroleum exploration, applied palaeomagnetism and seismic migration. XII-Seismic earth modelling, seismic earth imaging and three dimensional (3-D) seismic exploration, processing and interpretation. XIII- Borehole geophysics and fundamentals of pleonotology, XIV - Well logs interpretation and fundamentals of plynology, XV - Seismic noise and multiple attenuation, deconvolution, and velocity analysis and statics corrections.
