Hydrocarbon Exploration
Hydrocarbon exploration is the process of searching for natural resources like oil and natural gas, which are found in underground reservoirs. This involves geological surveys, seismic studies, and drilling exploratory wells to assess the presence and quantity of hydrocarbons. Companies often use advanced technology to analyze rock formations and identify potential drilling sites.
Once a promising site is located, further evaluation is conducted to determine the feasibility of extraction. Successful exploration can lead to the development of oil fields or gas fields, contributing to energy supplies and economic growth. The process is crucial for meeting global energy demands and involves significant investment and expertise.
