Anisotropy and Microseismics: Theory and PracticeVladimir GrechkaDownhole microseismics shifts the focus from P-waves to shear waves with profound consequences for geophysicists who now must be aware of singularities, shadow zones, and multivalued wavefronts. This discovery book investigates microseismic methodologies and techniques, often with unexpected results.

Applied Concepts in Fractured ReservoirsJohn C. Lorenz and Scott P. CooperThis extensively illustrated volume covers the understanding, evaluation, and effects of fractures in reservoirs. It offers a com-pre hensive yet practical discussion and description of natural fractures, their origins, characteristics, and effects on hydrocarbon reservoirs. It starts by introducing the reader to basic definitions and classifications of fractures and fractured reservoirs. It then provides an outline for fractured-reservoir characterization and analysis, and goes on to introduce the way fractures impact operational activities.

Basic Wave AnalysisEnders A. Robinson and Tijmen Jan MoserWritten in three parts, this book provides the information required for understanding the fundamental aspects of the elaborate com-puter processing schemes prevalent in exploration geophysics. Velocity analysis is addressed in Part 1, raypath analysis in Part 2, and wavefront analysis in Part 3. Alongside contemporary techni-cal information, this book also reminds readers of the pioneering ancestors of scientific research.

Geologic Interpretation of the Chukchi Sea Petroleum ProvinceEdited by Thomas X. Homza and Steven C. BergmanAAPG Memoir 119 contains wide-ranging, yet detailed, unpub-lished material released by Shell Exploration and Production Company. The volume is based on a wide variety of legacy and recently acquired data, the cornerstones of which are 2-D and 3-D seismic reflection data. Placed in a broad geologic context, this introduction to the Chukchi Sea petroleum systems will likely strongly influence future exploration programs.

Mississippian Geology of the U.S. MidcontinentEdited by G. Michael Grammer, Jay M. Gregg, James Puckette, Priyank Jaiswal, S. J. Mazzullo, Matthew J. Pranter, and Robert H. GoldsteinAAPG Memoir 122 tells the story of the Mississippian lime play, which began over a century ago and captures the evolution of oil and gas exploration in Kansas and Oklahoma—from early drilling of simple traps to the current development of unconventional resource plays. The 23 chapters included in this volume provide detailed accounts of particular reservoirs, fields, processes, and problems in the Mississippian-aged reservoirs of the midcontinent United States.
