Designed as a handbook for those engaged in the use and analysis ofpetroleum and natural gas reserves data. A discussion of the mechanics ofreserves estimation and the techniques and definitions underlying the assessment of hydrocarbon reserves is included. The study focuses onAlberta's hydrocarbon reserves estimates generated by the Alberta EnergyResources Conservation Board and the Canadian Petroleum Association sincethe beginning of hydrocarbon exploration in the province. Historical differences between the two estimate series are identified and discussed, with explanations for the differences provided where possible, although noattempt is made to assess the relative accuracy or quality of the series.

A discussion of fundamental characteristics, theories and applications for liquid-liquid colloidal dispersions. It profiles experimental and traditional measurement techniques in a variety of emulsified systems, including rheology, nuclear magnetic resonance, dielectric spectroscopy, microcalorimetry, video enhanced microscopy, and conductivity.

Hardcover plus CD

The early chapters of the volume present data and interpretations of the geophysics of the craton and summarise, with sequential maps, the tectonic evolution of the craton. The main body of the text and accompanying plates and figures present the stratigraphy, structural history, and economic geology of specific sedimentary basins and regions. The volume concludes with a summary chapter in which the currently popular theories of cratonal tectonics are discussed and the unresolved questions are identified.
