Exploration Geophysics

Mamdouh has been involved in the petroleum industry for nearly 40 years as a reservoir engineer and a geophysicist. He has had extensive experience in both seismic data acquisition and processing. He has been an independent consultant in all phases of seismic exploration as well as providing training and development expertise for several years. Mamdouh also is the author of the textbook Reservoir Seismology, published by PennWell Books in 1994. Ray has more than 40 years experience in geophysics. Thirty years of that experience was in training both professionals and non-professionals in seismic acquisition and processing. Much of that time was spent in developing training material for both in-house and client training

From the reviews: "Exploration Geophysics focuses primarily on seismic reflection techniques as applied to petroleum exploration ... . the book covers data acquisition and processing, migration, and interpretation of seismic data. ... Gadallah and Fisher have extensive experience in petroleum exploration, and this book reflects the type of work they regularly perform. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (M. S. Field, Choice, Vol. 46 (9), May, 2009) "The authors with their extensive experience in petroleum exploration have written a book 'at a level that anyone can understand without difficulty' ... . The potential reader will enjoy a book about science of exploration geophysics ... . this book recommendable to late undergraduates who are about to use seismic data or are interested in economic geology, and all members of a petroleum/mineral exploration team (e.g., support staff and managers) who want to better understand the concepts, techniques and technologies involved."
