This change is reflected in this new 4th edition, which has been significantly expanded to accommodate additional material. The centrepiece of the book, however, remains a series of descriptions, in stratigraphic order, of the depositional history and hydrocarbon related rock units of the North Sea.PetroleumGeologyNorth SeaGeologyNorth SeaPetroleumGeologyGeology553.2/82/0916336553.280916336Glennie K.
