Handbook of Texas online: OIL EXPLORATION
...A second method of exploration is the Magnetic method. Most oil occurs in sedimentary rocks that are nonmagnetic...
..A third method of exploration is the seismic method..
...Refraction prospecting consists of elastic earth waves, initiated by some concussive force, traveling down to a dense or high velocity bed, then being carried along that bed until they are
rerefracted up to seismic detector locations on the surface some distance from the shot point....
A final method of exploration is the study of stratigraphy...Sample logs, driller's logs, time logs, electrical logs, radioactivity logs, and acoustic logs help geologists predict where oil bearing strata occur.
What do I think? It's practically up-to-the-minute, well-researched and this is one of the few blogs besides DarkSyde's Kos diary that's mentioned it (including me but my mind's been elsewhere and I'm fighting a rebel lawnmower).
ReplyDeleteGood job, nunya.

ReplyDeleteYou realize you are a goddess for those of us in the liberal fringe.
ReplyDeleteOy vey, all I ever wanted was to be a domestic goddess, but thank you! My best male friend thinks that me and my best female friend are Furbies, and that the filter from my brain to my mouth doesn't work. I'm glad somebody gets my bizarre convoluted logic.
