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.
