Title Description

About this title

The Classic Petroleum Provinces are still the world's major producers of hydrocarbons and will continue to be so well into, and through, the 21st century.

In recent years there has been a proliferation of publications on "Future Petroleum Provinces" in the hope that new exploitable hydrocarbon reserves will be discovered. However, the petroleum industry's present and likely future existence will continue to be focussed in the classic petroleum provinces of the world

In recent years new data, new understandings, new interpretations, applications of modern concepts and re-evaluation of these new mature areas, fields and basins have resulted in the discovery of major new hydrocarbon accumulations. Many of these basins are not only classic petroleum provinces, but also classic geological provinces but also classic geological provinces
