Basic concepts of oil production

Petroleum is a naturally occurring____________

• 
  Carbon

• 
  hydrocarbon

• Oxygen

• Hydrogen

Name all the different states that hydrocarbon can form

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• All the above

select the correct answer

The organic theory states that

• organic means “compounds derived from living matter, generally containing carbon atoms

• hydrocarbon (hydrogen and carbon) came together under high temperature and pressure, deep below Earth’s surface, forming oil and gas where chemical reactions between water, carbon dioxide

Formation of petroleum

put the following formation of petroleum steps in the correct order

• 1.Diagenesis

  2.Catagenesis

  3.Metagenesis

• 1.Catagenesis

  2.Metagenesis

  3.Diagenesis

• 1.Metagenesis

  2.Metagenesis

  3.Catagenesis

(a)   methods are generally used to estimate subsurface structures and the probability of hydrocarbon presence.

Match the following Oil exploration methods to its description,

measures the magnetic field at a particular location. The magnetic survey provides information about the layers of rocks underground. Also, it helps in planning suitable locations for drilling operations.

• Magnetic surveys

• Gravity surveys

• Seismic surveys

Match the following Oil exploration methods to its description,

it is the most accurate and widely used method to find good drilling locations. The concept of this technique is to send sound waves down into the ground and record the reflected waves coming back from the various sedimentary layers.

• Magnetic surveys

• Gravity surveys

• Seismic surveys

Match the following Oil exploration methods to its description,

measures the variation of gravity over an area of the earth’s surface.

• Magnetic surveys

• Gravity surveys

• Seismic surveys

Match the picture with correct exploration method

• Magnetic Surveys

• Gravity surveys

• Seismic Surveys
