Hydrocarbon and Petroleum Geology of France [Paperback]

The subject of the book will be recent advances in the Petroleum Geology of France, including papers on the present exploration and production activity, field descriptions, regional synthesis and thematic papers an sequence stratigraphy and tectonic. A special attention will be given to the illustration (maps, seismic sections, raw data ...). This will be the first attempt to publish one single volume devoted to the petroleum geology of France.to Hydrocarbon Exploration and Underground Gas Storage in France.- Exploration for and Production of Oil and Gas in France: A Review of the Habitat, Present Activity, and Expected Developments.- A History of Petroleum Exploration in France.- Regulations of Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production in France.- Underground Gas Storage Facilities in France.- Modeling Present and Past Thermal Regimes in the Paris Basin: Petroleum Implications.- Paris Basin and Sea of Iroise.- Sequence Stratigraphy of the Jurassic Series of the Paris-London Basin.- Sequence Stratigraphy and Organic Matter Distribution of the Lias of the Paris Basin.- Relationship Between Organic Matter and Sedimentation in the Lias of Lorraine (France).- An Integrated Approach to Reservoir Characterization for a Gas Storage in the Paris Basin.- Management of Chaunoy Oil Field Multilayered Reservoir.- Seismic Applications of a Paris Basin Shallow Geology Data Base.- Liassic Source Rocks from Three Wells from the Sea of Iroise (French Western Approaches) and Dorset (UK) Outcrops:Nature and Modeled Maturity History.- Aquitaine Basin, Bay of Biscay, Pyrenees.- Deep Seismic Investigation in the Parentis Basin (Southwestern France).- Subsidence in the Parentis Basin (Aquitaine, France): Implications of the Thermal Evolution.- The Arzacq-Western Pyrenees ECORS Deep Seismic Profile.- A Reinterpretation of the Stress Regime of the Aquitaine Basin, Southwestern France, and Implications for Hydrocarbon Recovery.- South-East Basin, Gulf of Lions, Western Alps.- Structure of the GlÓ
