Page 11 - Geology and Geochemistry of Oil and Gas

x PREFACE

Discussions in this book are based on the systems approach to the specific ge-
ologic systems. Along with this approach, mathematical modeling of the static and
dynamic geologic systems is described as well. The use of mathematical methods and
computer techniques increases the scope of problems that can be solved on the basis
of integrated geological, geophysical, geochemical and engineering information.
Mathematical methods using computer processing of the current information ac-
celerate the process of regional and local prediction of oil and gas potential that, in
general, increases the economical and geologic efficiency of exploration, develop-
ment, and production of oil and gas.
