World Atlas of Oil and Gas Basins (eBook)

Born in China's northern Gansu Province, Professor Li Guoyu was educated at Lanzhou University and Beijing Petroleum Geology College. He has written close to 70 books and more than 30 scholarly papers on petroleum geology and has spent many years developing a theory of Sedimentary Basins that portrays an optimistic prognosis of oil and gas reserves in the world. Li Guoyu has combined his academic research with industry experience working with China's largest petroleum company and the Chinese Ministry of Energy. He is an Honorary Academician with the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. Li Guoyu is married with children and grandchildren and resides in Beijing.

"It is also useful for teaching petroleum geology as the
maps and cross-sections provide many good examples ... I found
the book very easy to use. The maps and cross-sections are easily
understood." (Reference Reviews, 2012)

"Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and
above; general readers." (Choice, 1 August 2011)

"This is a truly remarkable atlas . . . Therefore, the atlas is
presented as an 'indispensible source of information for the
development of future strategies to exploit oil and gas reserves .
. . On the contrary, because of its global perspective and the
links between geology and production history, the quick overview of
the geological potential and the hydrocarbon industry of different
countries or basins may be of great use to general managers,
journalists, students, or the interested public." (Geologica
