  2. Storegga Slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storegga_Slide

    The three Storegga Slides (Norwegian: Storeggaraset) are amongst the largest known submarine landslides. They occurred at the edge of Norway's continental shelf in the Norwegian Sea , approximately 6225–6170 BCE .

  3. Reservoir engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservoir_engineering

    The working tools of the reservoir engineer are subsurface geology, applied mathematics, and the basic laws of physics and chemistry governing the behavior of liquid and vapor phases of crude oil, natural gas, and water in reservoir rock.

  4. Exploration geophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploration_geophysics

    Exploration geophysics is also used to map the subsurface structure of a region, to elucidate the underlying structures, to recognize spatial distribution of rock units, and to detect structures such as faults, folds and intrusive rocks. This is an indirect method for assessing the likelihood of ore deposits or hydrocarbon accumulations.

  5. Strike and dip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_and_dip

    In geology, strike and dip is a measurement convention used to describe the plane orientation or attitude of a planar geologic feature. A feature's strike is the azimuth of an imagined horizontal line across the plane, and its dip is the angle of inclination (or depression angle ) measured downward from horizontal. [ 1 ]

  6. Seismic migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_migration

    Seismic migration is the process by which seismic events are geometrically re-located in either space or time to the location the event occurred in the subsurface rather than the location that it was recorded at the surface, thereby creating a more accurate image of the subsurface.

  7. Geothermal exploration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_Exploration

    Geothermal exploration is the exploration of the subsurface in search of viable active geothermal regions with the goal of building a geothermal power plant, where hot fluids drive turbines to create electricity. [1] Exploration methods include a broad range of disciplines including geology, geophysics, geochemistry and engineering. [2]

  8. Geoprofessions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoprofessions

    Geoprofessions is a term coined by the Geoprofessional Business Association to connote various technical disciplines that involve engineering, earth and environmental services applied to below-ground ("subsurface"), ground-surface, and ground-surface-connected conditions, structures, or formations.

  9. Submarine landslide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_landslide

    The length of the slide influences both the wavelength and the maximum wave height. Travel time or run out distance of slide will also influence the resulting tsunami wavelength. In most cases the submarine landslides are noticeably subcritical, that is the Froude number (the ratio of slide speed to wave propagation) is significantly less than ...
