This book is aimed especially at exploration geologists and advanced geology students. As such, its emphasis is on the geological applications of geochemistry. It contains many examples showing the applications of geochemistry to common exploration problems. Important case studies are presented to provide reinforcement. The Author also inserts a glossary of chemical and geochemical terms, plus an extensive bibliography. Contents include: 1. Introduction. 2. Organic facies. 3. Organic chemistry and isotopes. 4. Kerogen 5. Bitumen, petroleum, and natural gas. 6. Migration. 7. Analytical techniques. 8. Source-rock evaluation. 9. Predicting thermal maturity. 10. Correlations. 11. Surface prospecting. 12. Integrated applications to exploration. Glossary. Reference. Index.
