Title: Stratigraphic traps 3

Book ·
OSTI ID:7079068

This book reports on the Treatise of Petroleum Geology was conceived during a discussion held at the annual AAPG meeting in 1984 in San Antonio, Texas. With input form the Advisory Board of the Treatise of Petroleum Geology, the authors designed this set of publications to represent, to the degree possible, the cutting edge in petroleum exploration knowledge and application: the Reprint Series to provide useful and important published literature; the Atlas to comprise a collection of detailed field studies that illustrate the many ways oil and gas are trapped and to serve as a guide to the petroleum geology of basins where these fields are found; and the Handbook as a professional explorationist's guide to the latest knowledge in the various areas of petroleum geology and related disciplines. The treatise Atlas is part of AAPG's long tradition of publishing field studies. Notable AAPG field study complications include Structure of Typical American Fields, published in 1929 and edited by Sidney Powers; and Memoir 30, Giant Fields of 1968-1978, published in 1981 and edited by Michel T. Halbouty. The Treatise Atlas continues that tradition but introduces a format designed for easier access to data.
