"This book records some of the recent advances that biostratigraphy has made in production and development geology. It serves to illustrate to non-biostratigraphers the potential applicability of biostratigraphic and related techniques, and to encourage biostratigraphers to further explore and evaluate this potential." "Case histories of applications in the North Sea are given first, followed by case histories of applications in Euramerica, Borneo, Venezuela, Nigeria and the Gulf of Mexico. The overall representation of different geographies, stratigraphies and reservoir depositional environments is wide, although the North Sea is particularly well represented."--Jacket.
