About the Book
Cores and Core Logging for Geoscientists, 2nd Edition
Graham A. Blackbourn
Director and Consultant Geologist, Blackbourn Geoconsulting
The previous edition of this book has been widely adopted internationally
by the petroleum and mining industries and by geotechnical engineers as
an authoritative guide for use at the wellsite, in the laboratory or office.
This new edition has been brought up-to-date and incorporates modern
developments in coring techniques and core handling.
All aspects of cores are covered including cutting and recovery; wellsite
handling and logging; recognition of coring damage; laboratory analysis;
logging and sampling; preservation and storage. Logging and
interpretation are dealt with in detail, encompassing structural and
engineering investigations in addition to sedimentology. Emphasis is laid
throughout on those features most important to the economical
development of geological resources.
Because the methodology is dealt with extensively, the reader with a
background in sedimentology, geotechnical engineering, petrophysics or a
related subject is able to put the principles and techniques of core studies
into practice. As such, the book will prove invaluable for those working with
cores and anyone who uses information derived from them.
Contents:Introduction. Drilling and coring methods. Core handling. Core
logging. Core analysis and testing. Interpretation and preperation of final
logs. Core preservation and storage. Appendix 1: Standard symbols and
abbreviations. Appendix 2: Equipment for wellsite coring operations and
core logging. Appendix 3: Standard core barrel sizes. Biblography. Index
Readership:
the book will be an essential guide for oil company geologists and
sedimentologists; sedimentological contractors; geotechnical engineers,
engineering and mining geologists and hydrologists; lecturers and senior
students in economic and applied geology. Professionals and academics in
petroleum engineering will find the book a helpful source of information.
Reviews of the first edition:
'I thoroughly recommend this book to all geologists working with core... The
book ... sets a definitive standard'. Journal of Petrology
'This is a remarkable little book that presents its readers with almost
everything they may need to know about cores'. American Association of
Petroleum Geologists
'... Excellent coverage on methodology with emphasis on operational
geology ... should provide an excellent standard reference for the
geologist'. Marine and Petroleum Geology
