Author Description

This volume was created at the request and with the underwriting of Norske Conoco (Stavanger) and the Conoco Predictive Stratigraphy Group (Houston). It was done in response to their inability to find a published basinwide synthesis of the Stevens Sandstone system since G.W. Webb's excellent and often-cited Stevens paper in the 1981 AAPG Bulletin. A synthesis of the Stevens system was warranted, especially because of significant advances in interpreting deep-water reservoir systems, greatly improved seismic technology, and because much post-1981 information resides in unpublished dissertations and provincial literature that is not widely available. co-published with the Pacific Section of AAPG American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Founded in 1917, AAPG is the world's largest professional geological society. AAPG is a pillar of the world-wide scientific community. Our books foster timely scientific research, advance the science of geology and promote the most efficient methods of energy exploration & processing technology and practices available today. Some of the areas we publish in include: Well Log Analysis Geological Modeling Carbonate Petrology Seismic Imaging Reservoir Characterization Regional Petroleum Analysis Tectonics and Sedimentation Stratigraphy
