Oil, Gas & Petroleum Engineering

GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

Geological prospecting and exploration for oil and gas is a set of manufacturing and R&D pursuits for geological study of subsurface reserves, identification of promising areas, and detection of fields, their evaluation and pre-development. The final objective of geological prospecting is training of subsurface resources. The main principle of geological prospecting is the complete geological study of subsurface resources when along with oil and gas exploration all associated components (petroleum gas and its composition, sulphur, rare metals, etc.), possibility and realism of their production or use are investigated; hydrogeological, coal mining, engineering, geological and other studies are performed; natural, climatic, socioeconomic, geological engineering and financial indicator and their changes caused by future field development are analysed.
