those lectures which are left unanswered in our minds. Our speaker Engr. Dan Emmanuel Montealegre from DOE‚ tackled more about the reservoir rather than structural geology because it is not his forte to discuss geology. According to him‚ a geologist must be the one to discuss it because it is their area of specialization. Engr. Montealegre discussed the overview in reservoir characterization with background in geology. II. Knowledge / Learning Acquired As Petroleum Engineers we

Earth’s Composition A Although geologists are unable to see the exact composition and position of all the earth’s layers‚ they have used various tools to determine what lies beneath the crust. Use the Internet or textbooks to research geologists’ findings. The diagram below shows a cutaway view of the earth (not to scale). Identify each layer and describe its general characteristics.

rocks unceasingly moving for a long period of time‚ which can be explained by what is called "Plate Tectonics". Due to the fact that continental drift is a theory‚ there is evidence and other sets of statements to back it up. According to Wegener‚ a geologist stated that segments of the Earth has made continental drift true (possible) whilst other pieces of information supported that continental drift has happened and is happening. 1.

Geologist is consistently monitoring it on a daily basis to understand how it came to be. Geologist wants to know the past so it can prepare for the future. With all the data that geologist have collected over the years‚ it can be determined that Yellowstone has been highly affected by human contact within its own ecosystem. Before Yellowstone

One of the supporters‚ geologist Alexander Du Toit‚ used it to explain the similarity of strata and fossils of Africa and South America.

The 1906 San Francisco earthquake is widely believed to be the most significant earthquake of all time with regards to destruction‚ loss of life‚ and subsequent learnings. On the 110th anniversary of the April 18th‚ 1906 earthquake‚ we delve into how our understanding of earthquakes has developed and how this particular earthquake helped further our understanding. In 1906 San Francisco was a thriving city of 400‚000 and an important economic and trading center of the U.S. west coast. On April 18th

task of finding oil is a job that has long belonged to the geologists‚ whether employed directly by an oil company or under contract from a private firm. Their task is to find the right conditions for oil trap the right source rock‚ reservoir rock and entrapment. Over hundreds of years ago geologists interpreted surface features‚ surface rock and soil types‚ and perhaps some small core samples obtained by shallow drilling. Modern oil geologists also examine surface rocks and terrain; this is done with

Spearfish formation. The mineral gypsum is an important resource used to make drywall. There was an ongoing debate between geologists. They agree that the Devil’s Tower was formed by magma making its way into or between rock formations. But what they did not agree on was whether or not magma reached the land surface. Devil’s Tower was studied in the late 1800s by geologist Carpenter and Russell. They came to the conclusion that the Tower was formed because of igneous intrusion. There is
