Geoscience Flashcards
What is structural interpretation in geology?
It’s understanding how rock layers have been deformed, like faults and folds, to see where oil or gas might be trapped.
What is stratigraphic interpretation?
It’s analyzing the sequence and type of rock layers to understand their history and predict where resources like oil might be found.
What is facies analysis used for?
It’s used to study the characteristics of rock layers to predict which ones may hold oil or gas.
What does remote sensing help with in geology?
It uses images from satellites to understand surface conditions, which helps infer what might be happening underground.
What role does biostratigraphy play in geology?
It uses fossils to determine the age of rock layers, helping to create a timeline of rock formation.
What is 3D reservoir modeling?
It’s creating a 3D picture of what the reservoir looks like underground, showing where oil and gas are likely to be found.
