Petroleum Exploration

Petroleum exploration is the process of searching for underground underground reservoirs where oil and natural gas are stored. It involves geological studies, seismic surveys (using sound waves to map underground structures), and sampling to identify promising areas. When a potential site is located, exploratory drilling is conducted to confirm the presence of hydrocarbons. If successful, further development transforms these reservoirs into sources of fuel and energy. The goal is to efficiently locate and extract petroleum resources while minimizing environmental impact and ensuring economic viability.
