Question

The technology used in assessing the oil reservoir is:

• A. Hydro technology
• B. Sound wave technology
• C. Geo-Thermal technology
• D. Wind technology

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Sound wave technology

The technology used in assessing the oil reservoir is sound wave technology. In sound wave technology, we use seismic imaging, which is a tool that bounces sound waves off underground rock structures to reveal the possible crude oil and natural gas bearing formations. Seismologists use devices called geophones to record the sound waves as they echo within the Earth. By studying these echoes, petroleum geologists seek to calculate the depth and structures of buried geologic formations. This analysis may help them to identify the oil and gas bearing reservoirs hidden beneath the Earth's surface.
