This well-worn copy of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) Memoir 26, “Seismic Stratigraphy: Applications to Hydrocarbon Exploration,” is a seminal work in the field of seismic interpretation for oil and gas exploration. Published in 1977, it introduced the concept of seismic stratigraphy, a revolutionary approach that allowed geologists to interpret seismic data in terms of depositional environments and sedimentary facies. This breakthrough methodology, developed by Peter Vail and his colleagues at Exxon, transformed the way subsurface geology was analyzed, leading to more accurate predictions of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Despite its well-worn condition, this copy represents an important milestone in the history of petroleum geoscience and would be a prized addition to any collector’s library, particularly for those interested in the evolution of exploration techniques that fueled the energy industry.
