  2. 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.

  3. Seismic velocity structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_Velocity_Structure

    It is reflective of subsurface properties such as material composition, density, porosity, and temperature. [1] Geophysicists rely on the analysis and interpretation of the velocity structure to develop refined models of the subsurface geology, which are essential in resource exploration, earthquake seismology , and advancing our understanding ...

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Geologic modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_modelling

    Geologic modelling is a relatively recent subdiscipline of geology which integrates structural geology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, paleoclimatology, and diagenesis; In 2-dimensions (2D), a geologic formation or unit is represented by a polygon, which can be bounded by faults, unconformities or by its lateral extent, or crop. In geological ...

  7. Magnetotellurics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetotellurics

    Magnetotellurics (MT) is an electromagnetic geophysical method for inferring the earth's subsurface electrical conductivity from measurements of natural geomagnetic and geoelectric field variation at the Earth's surface.

  8. Geotechnical investigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_investigation

    A USBR soil scientist advances a Giddings Probe direct push soil sampler.. Geotechnical investigations are performed by geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to obtain information on the physical properties of soil earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions; this type of investigation is ...

  9. 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]
