Request a sales quoteStructural Geology and Tectonics for Hydrocarbon Geoscientists provides a guide to the study of both structural geology and tectonics as it relates to hydrocarbon exploration. One of the biggest challenges many structural geologists and tectonicians face in the hydrocarbon/petroleum industry is the lack of applied knowledge in their individual fields of study. This book brings both together into a single volume.
Structural Geology and Tectonics for Hydrocarbon Geoscientists
begins with an introduction to, definitions of, and discussion of the failure of anticlinal theory in hydrocarbon exploration. The second part of the book focuses on multiple areas of study in structural geology and tectonics that have traditionally only been available as single topics in journal articles: fault seal analysis, structural diagenesis, geological modelling, and hydraulic fracturing.- Features an introduction to and an overview of the study of hydrocarbon geosciences and why it is important to understand structural geology and tectonics
- Presents common problems with graphical and mathematical solutions
- Includes case studies on fault seal analysis, cross-section balancing, structural diagenesis, hydraulic fracturing, and analogue modelling

Soumyajit Mukherjee
Soumyajit Mukherjee is a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. He received his PhD in geology and MTech in applied geology from IIT Roorkee in 2007 and 2002, respectively, and received his BSc in geology from Presidency College (Kolkata) in 1999. He was a recipient of the Hutchison Young Scientist Award from IUGS in 2004. He served as the guest researcher at the Hans Ramberg Tectonic Lab, Uppsala University, from 2005 to 2006. Dr. Mukherjee, a structural geologist and tectonician, has performed fieldwork, microstructural studies, and analogue and analytical modeling, mainly on ductile shear kinematics and collisional tectonics. His research and editorial experience spans 15 years and so far he has authored and coedited 14 books and thematic volumes.
