This book is based on the 2004 SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course, which provides geophysicists with a broad overview of the petroleum systems of deepwater settings. This review covers recent trends in deepwater deposits in terms of drilling results and introduces the elements of the petroleum system - reservoirs, traps, seals, source rock, migration, and timing. The book includes a summary of what is important in the exploration for and development of deepwater systems. The application of these techniques to each geophysicist's current projects is key, as is the difference between frontier exploration and exploration in mature basins with deeper potential. Examples from three or four basins distributed globally illustrate the principles. These examples also demonstrate that there is deepwater potential in most basins globally.Also Available: Introduction to Petroleum Seismology - ISBN 1560801298 Exploration Geophysics-Petroleum Industry/Geoscience-Geophysics Timeline - ISBN 1560801409
