About The Book
Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production by Armin Iske provides an in-depth exploration of the technological challenges and advances in the oil and gas industry, particularly focusing on hydrocarbon exploration and production. As the global demand for oil and gas continues to rise, the need for further technological advancements becomes crucial. This book addresses these challenges by discussing the latest research and advancements across multiple disciplines such as mathematics, geophysics, geology, petroleum engineering, signal processing, and computer science.

The book presents important aspects and fundamental concepts involved in hydrocarbon exploration and production, with a strong emphasis on mathematical methods and modelling. It highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of the hydrocarbon production workflow, covering various stages such as:

• Seismic data imaging

• Seismic analysis and interpretation

• Geological model building

• Numerical reservoir simulation

The thirteen chapters of this comprehensive work are authored by leading experts from both academic and industrial institutions. It includes both survey papers with an expository nature and original research articles. A significant portion of the material was developed through the European research and training network NetAGES (Network for Automated Geometry Extraction from Seismic), between 2000 and 2004. The innovative methods introduced in the book are currently being implemented as software tools by Schlumberger Stavanger Research, one of the largest service providers in the oil industry.

This book is a vital resource for professionals and researchers involved in hydrocarbon exploration and production, offering an interdisciplinary perspective and advanced mathematical tools for addressing the industry's complex challenges.
