Geology
NoDoC Cost models support:
• Reservoir Database Review
• Reservoir Validation with dynamic data
• Reservoir Seismic/log interpretation
• Reservoir 1-D stratigraphic and facies analysis
• Reservoir 2-D correlation and facies analysis
• Reservoir Facies proportion curves exploration
• Reservoir Depositional model
Geology is commercially important for mineral and hydrocarbon exploration and for evaluating water resources; it is publicly important for the prediction and understanding of natural hazards, the remediation of environmental problems, and for providing insights into past climate change; plays a role in geotechnical engineering; and is a major academic discipline.
Geologists are responsible for finding oil. Their task is to find the right conditions for an oil trap -- the right source rock, reservoir rock and entrapment. Many years ago, geologists interpreted surface features, surface rock and soil types, and perhaps some small core samples obtained by shallow drilling. Modern oil geologists also examine surface rocks and terrain, with the additional help of satellite images. However, they also use a variety of other methods to find oil. They can use sensitive gravity meters to measure tiny changes in the earth's gravitational field that could indicate flowing oil, as well as sensitive magnetometers to measure tiny changes in the earth's magnetic field caused by flowing oil. They can detect the smell of hydrocarbons using sensitive electronic noses called sniffers. Finally, and most commonly, they use seismology, creating shock waves that pass through hidden rock layers and interpreting the waves that are reflected back to the surface. In seismic surveys, a shock wave is created by the following:
• Compressed-air gun
• Thumper truck
• Explosives
The shock waves travel beneath the surface of the Earth and are reflected back by the various rock layers. The reflections travel at different speeds depending upon the type or density of rock layers through which they must pass. Sensitive microphones or vibration detectors detect the reflections of the shock waves -- hydrophones over water, seismometers over land. Seismologists interpret the readings for signs of oil and gas traps.
Once the geologists find a prospective oil strike, they mark the location using GPS coordinates on land or by marker buoys on water.
