Digital Bibliography and Index of
Petroleum Geology
As part of its comprehensive Basement Tectonic Interpretation of the Soviet Union, Gibson Consulting prepared an index to the journal Petroleum Geology. From 1958 to 2005, Dr. James Clarke (formerly of the USGS, website at Internet Geology) translated and published this digest of Russian literature on petroleum exploration and production. Dr. Joan M. Spaw and Dick Gibson of Gibson Consulting created the Index so that the information in the journal would be more readily accessible. We published a hard-copy Bibliography and Index in 1990, covering the years 1980-1990 of the journal. The book was created from a digital bibliographic data base, which is now available on CD-ROM. Dr. Clarke died in 2005; Volume 39, 2005, was the last issue of Petroleum Geology he published.
The Digital Index is included in our complete package, and is also available separately. In addition, for those who do not wish to purchase the digital index, we prepare customized hard-copy outputs from the data base. Many of these are ready to go, and others can be prepared quickly. This is a cost-effective way of accessing the information in Petroleum Geology.
The current Edition 3.0 (1963-2005 -- Volumes 7-39) is available now. Price: US $795.00, is effectively for a site license. Additional updates of pre-1963 issues will be distributed to all purchasers at no additional charge, when complete. No guaranteed delivery date for the early issues can be established at present. Shipping costs are added to orders from outside North America. While supplies last, all purchases include a copy of the 1990 hard-copy Bibliography & Index. We have no plans to make additional hard-copy indices from the complete data base.
