Summary

This is the only compilation of resource material available on South-East Asian oil, gas, coal and mineral deposits. It not only describes their main characteristics, but also discusses their regional similarities, differences and age of formation. The book is a companion volume to theauthor's 1989 Geological Evolution of South-East Asia. The book is essential reading for oil and mineral exploration company staff, research workers and university students.
