Exploration & Production Flashcards
1
Q
What is the purpose of a seismic survey?
A
Seismic surveys use sound waves to map the subsurface, helping identify potential oil and gas reservoirs.
2
Q
What is well logging?
A
Well logging involves lowering tools into a drilled well to measure properties of the rocks and fluids, like resistivity and density, helping determine if hydrocarbons are present.
3
Q
Why is formation evaluation important?
A
It determines the rock’s properties, such as porosity and fluid content, to assess whether the formation can be economically produced.
