description: Is the world running out of hydrocarbons? Where will we find oil and gas to fuel the twenty-first century?Are unconventional sources of hydrocarbons waiting to be tapped? This book addresses these important issues concerning energy needs in this century. The volume is a compilation of expert papers presented at the second Wallace E. Pratt Memorial Conference, Petroleum Provinces of the Twenty-first Century, held at San Diego, California, on January 12 15, 2000. The chapters describe the remaining hydrocarbon potential of most of the major petroleum basins that likely will provide the world's energy in the near future. Topics - significance of hydrocarbon discoveries in the 1990s- the question of whether the world is running out of hydrocarbons- nontraditional hydrocarbon sources such as old fields and natural-gas hydrates- hydrocarbon potential of North America, the United Kingdom, Asia, Central and South America, the Middle East, and Africa Petroleum Provinces of the Twenty-first Century deals with all aspects of petroleum systems-source, reservoir, seal, and migration. The book will interest explorers and managers who want a global perspective on exploration opportunities and a concise introduction to the petroleum geology of a particular area.
