Petroleum Geology and Geoscience

Petroleum Geology is the study of origin, reoccurrence, evolution, inflation, and exploration of hydrocarbon fuels. It attribute to the specific set of geological disciplines that are applied to the search for hydrocarbons. Petroleum geology is basically concerned with the valuation of seven elements in sedimentary basins; Source, Reservoir, Seal, Trap, Timing, Maturation, and Migration.

In general, all these factors must be predicted by a confined window into the subsurface world, provided by one or possibly more exploration wells. These wells present only a 1-D segment through the Earth and the skill of interpreting 3-D characteristics from them is one of the most fundamental in petroleum geology. Lately, the possibility of economical, high quality 3D seismic data and data from various electromagnetic geophysical techniques such as Magnetotellurics has greatly assisted the accuracy of such analysis. Geoscience is a widely grasp term for the fields of science related to the Earth. It is the branch of science dealing with the physical structure of the earth and its atmosphere.
