Petroleum Exploration and Production

Petroleum exploration and production involve locating and extracting oil and gas from beneath the Earth's surface. Exploration uses geological surveys, seismic testing, and drilling to identify underground reservoirs that contain hydrocarbons. Once a promising site is found, production involves drilling wells and deploying equipment to bring the oil and gas to the surface. These resources are then processed and refined into fuels, chemicals, and other products essential to modern life. The process requires careful planning, engineering, and safety measures to efficiently and responsibly access energy resources while minimizing environmental impact.
