Frontline HR or Principles of Petroleum Geology

Frontline HR: A Handbook for the Emerging Manager

Author: Jeffrey S Hornsby

In many companies, the human resource component of a line manager/supervisor position is at least 50 percent of total responsibilities. But managers and supervisors often find themselves overwhelmed by—or even ill-prepared for—the responsibility of having to select, train, evaluate, discipline, and reward their direct reports. Written especially for the emerging manager, Frontline HR provides an excellent guide to successfully navigate through the challenges of supervising employees.

Principles of Petroleum Geology

Author: Robert C Laudon

Principles of Petroleum Development Geology examines concepts that are fundamental to the success of tomorrow's petroleum geologists whether they call themselves exploration, development or environmental geologists. Petroleum development geology contains strong aspects of structural geology, reservoir engineering, drilling engineering, petrophysics, reflection seismology, and petroleum land management. This textbook is designed to outline the most salient aspects of these disciplines as they apply to development geology. Written on an introductory level, the book places emphasis on principles. Field examples and practical problems with solutions are included.

Outlines fundamental principles of petroleum development geology, focusing on the estimation of volumetric reserves. Topics include traps, isopach maps, various types of logs and log analysis, pressure and temperature in the subsurface, volumetrics, clastic and carbonate depositional systems, geophysics and reflection seismology, and enhanced oil recovery. For advanced students in geology. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
