Reservoir Rocks
- Correct examples include dolostones, limestone, and sandstone, serving as storage for oil.
Geophysical Surveys
- Gravimetric surveys are essential in oil exploration; however, they are not used for deep seismic reflection.
Rock Properties
- Fundamental properties include porosity, saturation, and permeability; formation volume factor is not a property.
Seal Rock Definition
- Seal rock is impermeable and traps fluids above reservoir rock, crucial for petroleum systems.
Seismic Technology Value Chain
- Sequence in Feedforward method: Acquisition → Processing & Imaging → Interpretation → Reservoir Characterization.
Darcy’s Equation
- Flow rate is influenced by permeability, cross-sectional area, and pressure gradient.
Gravimetric Survey Characteristics
- Conducted with gravimeters and requires distinguishable geological structures due to density differences.
Seismic Ground Geophysical Techniques
- Techniques include Refraction, Reflection, and Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW).
Fluid Mechanics
- Wettability pertains to one fluid's ability to spread on a surface when other immiscible fluids are present.
- The flow of fluids in porous media is determined by the pressure gradient.
Oil Recovery Rates
- Average worldwide oil recovery is approximately 30-40%, while secondary recovery methods like water injection enhance production.
Drilling Operations
- Initial steps involve rigging up and drilling the surface hole; the function of the drilling line includes the raising and lowering of drill string.
Separation and Processing Equipment
- Equipments like shale shakers and degassers are utilized for handling drilling fluids, removing entrained gases, and separating cuttings.
Petroleum Refining
- Involves distillation, cracking, and treating to separate valuable oil products from crude oil.
Pricing Factors for Oil & Gas
- Pricing is influenced by distance, economic status, and political conditions; however, feedstock selection is governed by economic aspects.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Comprises 17 goals agreed upon by nations for sustainability, focusing on poverty alleviation, environmental protection, and economic growth.
Elements of Sustainability
- Includes environment, society, economy, but excludes employment as a separate element.
Key Issues in Sustainable Development
- Major issues consist of poverty, energy security, education, food security, climate change, and water scarcity.
Climate Change Impact
- Predicted consequences of climate change include altered weather patterns, sea level rise, and intensified storms.
Renewable vs Non-Renewable Energy
- Non-renewable energy is defined as resources that will eventually run out, while renewable sources are sustainable indefinitely.
Economic Transformation Program (ETP) in Malaysia
- Aimed to elevate Malaysia to a high-income economy by 2020, focusing on 12 National Key Economic Areas, excluding education.
Individual Contributions to SDGs
- Individuals can support SDG implementation by ensuring accountability, participating in initiatives, and promoting societal change.### Crude Oil and Naphtha
- The main product derived from naphtha is Paraffins.
Nuclear Power
- Uranium is the primary element required to operate a nuclear plant.
Oil and Gas Industry in Malaysia
- Malaysia aims to enhance its oil and gas sector by attracting major international companies to establish their operations domestically.
- Aker Solutions is a significant international oil and gas company currently operating in Malaysia.
OPEC Oil Production
- As of July 2017, OPEC's oil production accounts for approximately 44% of the world's total oil production.
PETRONAS and Hydrocarbons
- PETRONAS has established itself as a key player in the oil and gas industry, being recognized as:
- A significant oil and gas supplier within Malaysia and the region.
