Methods and applications in reservoir geophysics / Методы и приложения в геофизике коллекторов

The Society of Exploration Geophysicists published Reservoir Geophysics, the predecessor of this book, in 1992. This was a time of transition in the geophysical profession and in the petroleum industry, which had suffered a significant downturn in the mid-1980s.
