About the Book

"Basin Analysis" is an up-to-date overview of the essential processes of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins, and their implications for the development of hydrocarbon resources.This new edition features: a consideration of the fundamental physical state of the lithosphere; a discussion on the major types of lithospheric deformation relevant to basin development - stretching and flexure; a new chapter on the effects of mantle dynamics; radically revised chapters on the basin-fill; a new chapter on the erosional engine for sediment delivery to basins, reflecting the massive and exciting advances in this area in the last decade; expansion of the techniques used in approaching problems in basin analysis; updated chapters on subsidence analysis and measurements of thermal maturity of organic and non-organic components of the basin-fill; new material on thermochronological and exposure dating tools; and, inclusion of the important petroleum system concept in the updated section on the application to the petroleum play.
