Advances in Environmental Geotechnics: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Geoenvironmental Engineering in Hangzhou, China, September 8-10, 2009
The International Symposium on Geoenvironmental Engineering (ISGE 2009) was held on September 8-10, 2009 in Hangzhou, China. ISGE 2009 was organized by MOE Key Laboratory of Soft Soils and Geoenvironmental Engineering, Zhejiang University, Chinese Institution of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (CISMGE), and Chinese Chapter of International Geosynthetics Society (CCIGS), under the auspices of ISSMGE TC5, sponsored by K. C. Wong Education Foundation, and National Natural Science Foundation of China, as well as Zhejiang University Zeng Guo-Xi Lecture Fund.
Issues associated with Environmental Geotechnics continue to be a major preoccupation for governments, public and private organizations and the general community worldwide. The Chinese Government has been putting great effort on environmental issues including sanitary disposal of solid waste, reuse of industrial wastes, remediation of contaminated land, prevention of groundwater contamination, environmental risk assessment, ecological techniques, etc. China also has much to share on the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities for environmental geotechnics with other countries, especially the developing countries.

This Second Edition of Elements of Petroleum Geology is completely updated and revised to reflect the vast changes in the field in the fifteen years since publication of the First Edition. This book is a usefulprimer for geophysicists, geologists, and petroleum engineers in the oil industry who wish to expand their knowledge beyond their specialized area. It is also an excellent introductory text for a university course in petroleum geoscience.
Elements of Petroleum Geology begins with an account of the physical and chemical properties of petroleum, reviewing methods of petroleum exploration and production. These methods include drilling, geophysical exploration techniques, wireline logging, and subsurface geological mapping. After describing the temperatures and pressures of the subsurface environment and the hydrodynamics of connate fluids, Selley examines the generation and migration of petroleum, reservoir rocks and trapping mechanisms, and the habit of petroleum in sedimentary basins. The book contains an account of the composition and formation of tar sands and oil shales, and concludes with a brief review of prospect risk analysis, reserve estimation, and other economic topics.
