Geophysical Prospecting for Oil by L.L. Nettleton McGraw-Hill 1940
Title: Geophysical Prospecting for Oil
Author: L.L. Nettleton
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: McGraw-Hill 1940
Edition: First Edition
Size: 6.25 x 9.25 x1.3 * 444 pages including index
Synopsis: From the PREFACE: Within the last twelve years there has grown up a voluminous periodical literature on geophysics as applied to prospecting for oil. However, no single source gives a connected presentation of the principles and practice of modern oil prospecting by geophysical methods. It is primarily to supply such a source that this work has been attempted.
The present work is intended for the student or lay reader rather than the geophysical specialist. Therefore, the funda- mentals and basic ideas of most of the material included are available in the periodical or other geophysical literature of the present time or are quite generally known to practicing explora- tion geophysicists. The selection and emphasis of subject matter have been governed by practical aspects based on the writer's experience and active participation in the application of geophysical methods to prospecting for oil through most of the period of their active development. The work will have fulfilled its purpose if the general reader or student finds a presentation of the modern methods used in prospecting for oil that will enable him to understand the basis of geophysical maps and results and to judge their meaning and the reliance (or lack of it) that may be placed upon them. Also, it is believed that the material will serve as a convenient and useful reference work for professional geophysicists. Furthermore, it is hoped that it may introduce a certain degree of uniformity in notation and nomenclature which has been lacking in the periodical literature.
The book is the outgrowth of a course of lectures given for several years at the University of Pittsburgh, chiefly for students in petroleum geology and petroleum engineering. It is thus designed for those with a geological rather than a physical background. However, physical fundamentals of geophysical prospecting have been emphasized throughout. Mathematics has not been avoided or suppressed, but an attempt has been made to supplement the equations with written explanations to help clarify their meaning.
