Oil Exploration

Oil exploration is the process of searching for crude oil reserves beneath the Earth's surface. It involves studying geological formations, using various technologies like seismic surveys to map potential oil-rich areas, and drilling test wells to confirm the presence of oil. Successful exploration is vital for meeting energy needs and involves a blend of science, engineering, and environmental awareness. Once oil is found, commercial development begins, including extraction, transportation, and refining into products like gasoline and diesel. This process supports economies but also raises concerns about environmental impact and sustainability.
