3D Viewing of Geology Settings in Specific Areas

This report illustrates a geological review of a play within the South Brae oilfield and determines the potential of reservoirs within this area. It is hard to predict and provide ability for oil companies to license an oilfield before drilling therefore it is dependent upon several core sections available to investigate petrographically the northern North Sea. Cores and petrophysical data extracted from blocks 16/7a-A9, 16/7a-A17 and 16/7a-A21 related to licenses in block 16/07a found in the South Viking Graben area are provided and analysed in order to resolve whether exploration licenses should be purchased and the possible drilling of an exploration well.

The oil is extracted by simply being forced through a rock, which the droplets can actually do on their own, as they are pushed by large amounts of pressure that exist beneath the surface. This pressure comes from a build-up of rock lying on the oil and from heat from the earth that builds up in a reservoir and expands any gases from the inside of the rock. When an oil well strikes a reservoir, the pressure is released and forces the oil through the rock and up to the surface. The oil may squeeze into any fractures in the reservoir, and if these fractures run in the direction of an oil well, they can act as pipelines in which the oil will flow.

Recently, oil companies have increased their search for oil in water deeper than 1,500 feet, which is classified as "deep water." While that is where the companies hope to find the largest untapped oil reserves, seeking out and extracting oil there presents unique challenges. For one thing, platforms in deep water cannot sit on legs connected to the sea floor the way they can in shallower areas, so other methods must be used to protect them from strong currents.

Through all out the world, there many places where oil is common and where oil Is common there is usually tons of oil barrels.Oil is mostly common in Venezuela.Venezuela has about 298.4 billion barrels of oil!That’s a lot of oil barrels. Other places are Saudi Arabia,Canada,Iran,Iraq,Kuwait,Russia,United Arab Emirates,Libya,Nigeria,and lastly the United states.All of these countries are common for oil.All of them have big oil reserves and when there is big oil reserves we have tons of oil barrels.The oil doesn't just come in machine’s we have to dig for it with oil machine’s because if we didn’t dig we wouldn’t have oil.The oil is located in the earth but then again the oil barrels are located in several different countries that are on earth! Overall,oil barrels are located throughout the world (http://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-world-s-largest-oil-reserves-by-country.html)

I am interested in Geology as a major, and on October seventh, I met with geology professor Michael Stewart. Geology is the study of the earth’s physical structure and substance. I became interested in this field because I have always been interested in the physical sciences; math, physics, and chemistry. I have a good comprehension of the subjects, and I wish to apply them within my career. Also, the earth and nature have also been an interesting mystery to me, and I want to learn more. I’m also fascinated by how so many big things came from such small beginnings, and I want to learn more about where everything came from, and why everything is the way it is today.

The Earth is tilted on an axis with the northern point of our planet tilted at 23.5 degrees toward the sun as we orbit it. The Earth also rotates on this tilted axis, which is how we get our days. The reason that Ohio gets warmer in the summer is because as the Earth rotates the sun (one rotation around the sun equals one year), different sections of the Earth "take turns," as you might say, being "closer" to the sun. As the Earth passes by one side of the sun, the northern hemisphere will be tilted towards the sun in the same way that the northern hemisphere would be tilted away from the sun when the Earth passes by the opposite side. So, it is warmer in the summer because the summer time is when the northern hemisphere is tilted closer to

Effective and economical production of hydrocarbons has gained great attention worldwide due to the increasing demand for oil and the challenges oil companies face to deliver more oil from their oilfields. Water flood is generally used as an economic and effective method in secondary mode recovery after primary (natural) driving mechanisms have been depleted. Generally, water flooding still leaves behind 60-70% of the oil initially in place (OIIP) inside the reservoir and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods are introduced to produce further oil from the reservoir. EOR is simply defined as the injection of materials that do not naturally exist under the earth’s surface to increase the oil production rate of a reservoir. Primarily, there are
