Detection: Oil is
detected by studying the earth's surface, by remote sensing,
and by lowering sensors into wells. Each of these three methods
studies the earth at different depths and at different scales
-- from inches to miles. |
|
Evaluation: Once you've
detected oil, the next step is to evaluate what you've found:
How much oil is there? Where exactly is it? And how easily
will it flow? |
|
Production: Once oil
is found and evaluated, the next challenge is planning the
safest, cleanest and most efficient way to get it out of the
ground, maximizing recovery and minimizing risk and cost.
