A full scale basin analysis is usually carried out prior to defining leads and prospects for future drilling. This study tackles the petroleum system and studies source rock (presence and quality); burial history; maturation (timing and volumes); migration and focus; and potential regional seals and major reservoir units (that define carrier beds).

In 2018 road transport used 49% of petroleum, aviation 8%, and uses other than energy 17%. [156] Electric vehicles are the main alternative for road transport and biojet for aviation. [ 157 ] [ 158 ] [ 159 ] Single-use plastics have a high carbon footprint and may pollute the sea, but as of 2022 the best alternatives are unclear.

Since its discovery, the East Texas Oil Field has produced more than 5.2 billion barrels (830,000,000 m 3) of oil, and it originally contained more than 7 billion barrels (1.1 × 10 9 m 3). [4] [5] At the 2018 price of about $55/bbl, the past production would be worth around $285 billion today.
In the petroleum industry, lithology, or more specifically mud logging, is the graphic representation of geological formations being drilled through and drawn on a log called a mud log. As the cuttings are circulated out of the borehole , they are sampled, examined (typically under a 10× microscope) and tested chemically when needed.
The Rumaila oil field is a super-giant oil field [1] located in southern Iraq, approximately 50km to the south west of Basra City. [2] Discovered in 1953 by the Basrah Petroleum Company (BPC), an associate company of the Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC), [3] [4] [5] the field is estimated to contain 17 billion barrels, which accounts for 12% of Iraq's oil reserves, estimated at 143 billion barrels.
The Bahariya Formation (also transcribed as Baharija Formation) is a fossiliferous geologic formation dating back to the early Cenomanian, which outcrops within the Bahariya depression in Egypt, and is known from oil exploration drilling across much of the Western Desert where it forms an important oil reservoir.
