The most utilized technique for exploring the Earth's subsurface for petroleum is reflection seismology. However, a sole focus on reflection seismology often misses opportunities to integrate other geophysical techniques such as gravity, magnetic, resistivity, and other seismicity techniques, which have tended to be used in isolation and by specialist teams. There is now growing appreciation that these technologies used in combination with reflection seismology can produce more accurate images of the subsurface. This book describes how these different field techniques can be used individually and in combination with each other and with seismic reflection data. World leading experts present chapters covering different techniques and describe when, where, and how to apply them to improve petroleum exploration and production. It also explores the use of such techniques in monitoring CO2 storage reservoirs. Including case studies throughout, it will be an invaluable resource for petroleum industry professionals, advanced students, and researchers.

Analysis of the heavy mineral suites in the reservoir at Harriet Field has significantly improved reservoir unit definition and correlation and provided information on facies changes and diagenetic history. It has provided further evidence for a stratigraphic barrier as a cause of the variation of the oil-water contact in the field.The reservoir consists of a number of discrete sandstone bodies which are arranged in a multistorey manner.The reservoir is further subdivided into compartments by minor faulting. Prior to the use of heavy mineral analysis, correlation between wells was often unclear. Such correlation is beyond the resolution of reflection seismology and the massive nature of the sandstones means that definition and correlation is uncertain when made on the basis of lithology combined with wireline logs. The time interval involved in the deposition of the reservoir sequence is too short to permit discrimination by palaeontological analysis.Eight distinct sandstone bodies can be defined on the basis of analysis of the heavy mineral suites in the 14 wells of the field. The total composition of the suites, certain 'marker minerals' and various statistical indices have been used to define these sandstone units which are interpreted to be individual lobes within a submarine fan complex. The methods and results are illustrated with examples from the field. The results of the analysis show that heavy mineral populations can provide critical information for accurate reservoir mapping and analysis.
