PETROLEUM GEOLOGY


Petroleum Geology is a quarterly digest of Russian language articles on the petroleum geology of the Newly Independent States of the Former Soviet Union. The four issues of each calendar year consist each of 106 pages with a total of 424 pages in each volume. The journal focuses on articles that describe the subsurface geology of areas where new discoveries may be expected. This, however, is not the main purpose of the journal. The main purpose is to open a window onto the extensive scientific information that is published in the Russian language. By its nature geology encompasses the entire Earth. Is a sixth of the land surface of the Earth to be ignored because its description is in a language that is not familiar to most of the Western World. For example, the large number of transgressive-regreessive cycles of the Early Carboniferous of Eastern European Russian and the Ukraine appear to reflect cycles of glaciation in the Southern Hemisphere. Such cycles make outstanding reservoirs and seals in the Ukraine. There is much oil and gas yet to be discovered in the Former Soviet Union. Perhaps this journal can contribute to participation of Western companies in joint ventures. What is more important, however, is the knowledge of stratigraphy and tectonic processes that we can acquire.

Petroleun Geology is published on a non-profit basis in the interest of our science, which is to say that the subscription income covers the cost of manufacture and distribution of the printed issues. Reading the original Russian and writing the digests is my contribution to the science of petroleum geology. The price of this journal is $89.00 a year for distribution in the United States. For subscriptions outside the United States, please add an additional $9.00, bringing the total to $98.00. For delivery by Air Mail outside the United States the extra for postage is $20.00, bringing this total to $109.00 for one year. You may FAX your purchase order to (703) 759-3754 or mail it to Petroleum Geology, Box 1492, Great Falls, VA 22066

Consulting Services

I have been preparing basin studies of the oil-gas provinces of the Soviet Union and now of the Newly Independent States for some thirty years. These studies have been based largely on published material that is found in the U. S. Geological Survey Library, which is the largest and most complete geological library in the world. I also have extensive files in my office in Great Falls, Virginia. I can prepare syntheses of the geology of a basin at an attractive cost because I do not have the overhead expenses that other firms have. My work, however, has been well received by the many petroleum companies with whom I have consulted and for whom I have prepared basin studies. If you are interested in having me prepare such a study for your company, I can be reached at telephone (703) 759-4487 or by Fax at (703) 759-3754. If you come to the Washington area, let us have lunch or dinner together and talk about it. My address is: Dr. James Clarke 914 Leigh Mill Road Great Falls, Virginia 22066 Sincerely, James Clarke
