Match each of the necessary components to produce a petroleum or natural gas reservoir with its function.

• source rock

• serves as a migration and storage site for petroleum to accumulate

• impermeable layer

• subjected to temperatures sufficient to convert organic carbon into petroleum

• permeable layer

• prevents petroleum from moving to the surface

  • impermeable layer

  • permeable layer

  • source rock

What are the two types of wells used in the recovery of petroleum and natural gas?

• injection well

• production well

• well well well

• wishing well

• doing really well

Organize these options into the right categories

Groups:

(a) Primary recovery

,

(b) Secondary Recovery

,

(c) Enhanced recovery

• gas injection and chemical flooding are used to bring the remaining petroleum to the surface

• relies on underground pressure to drive petroleum to the surface

• If the pressure falls, pumps are used to bring petroleum to the surface

• water is injected into the rock to bring petroleum to the surface

Match the type of advanced drilling to its description.

• Complex path drilling

• A single drill hole accesses multiple layers underground

• Horizontal drilling

• Extracts petroleum and natural gas from a single drill well using several routes, which improves well efficiency

• Extended reach drilling

• A vertical hole is drilled into rock. Drilling is then turned horizontally to exploit a particular rock layer

• Multilateral drilling

• An advanced process that can cover great distances in the subsurface; this exceeds traditional vertical drilling methods
