What does oil exploration mean
Petroleum exploration, also known as oil and gas exploration, refers to the process of using various means and methods to collect, process and comprehensively analyze data under the guidance of the formation mode and distribution law of oil and gas fields, to determine whether the basic conditions for the formation of oil and gas fields exist, to constantly reduce the exploration target area, and finally to discover and prove oil and gas fields. That's the textbook definition.
In fact, in the words of ordinary people, it is what methods and means to find oil, where to find oil, and how to find oil.
The principles used in petroleum exploration include "seismic stratigraphy" and "numerical simulation technology", and the methods adopted are "seismic exploration" and "gravity exploration".
What are the oil exploration equipment
What is the oil exploration equipment? Common common equipment are surveying, drilling, and acquisition equipment, but depending on the method of exploration, the equipment and tools used are also different. Oil exploration has artificial seismic exploration methods and heavy magnetic and electric exploration methods:
1, artificial seismic exploration of oil: artificial source (explosives, or focal vehicle), geophone, transmission line. (Explosive is used to stimulate seismic waves, seismic waves reflected back from the ground are received with a geophone, and then data is received through a transmission line and processed and interpreted to explore for the existence of oil).
2, heavy magnetic and electric exploration: it is basically the same as above, but it is the use of artificial electric or magnetic fields, and then according to the electrical properties of underground oil or natural gas exploration! Equipment, too: launch systems; Acquisition (receiving) system; Positioning system; Data recording processing (generally a V8 (electromagnetic exploration system) is enough, which includes the above four parts).
