NAPE-AAPG BOOTH-CAMP QUIZ 2

What is the primary role of seals in petroleum geology?

• Enhancing reservoir pressure

• Facilitating hydrocarbon extraction

• Preventing vertical migration of hydrocarbons 

• Creating structural traps

Answer explanation

Seals in petroleum geology primarily prevent vertical migration of hydrocarbons, ensuring they remain trapped in reservoirs for extraction.

Which of the following is NOT a key characteristic of a good seal?

• High Permeability

• Regional Continuity

• Good ductility

• Low Permeability

Answer explanation

High Permeability is NOT a key characteristic of a good seal as it allows substances to pass through easily, compromising the seal's effectiveness.

Porosity refers to the:

• Rock's ability to transmit solid

• Force required for fluid entry

• Percentage of pore space in a rock

• Thickness of the seal

Answer explanation

Porosity refers to the percentage of pore space in a rock, making it the correct choice among the options provided.

What are the two main classification of traps in petroleum geology?

• Structural traps and sedimentary traps

• Stratigraphic traps and diagenetic traps

• Anticlines and fault traps

• Structural traps and stratigraphic traps

Answer explanation

Structural traps are formed by deformation of the rock layers, while stratigraphic traps are formed by variations in rock properties within a layer.

What does reservoir quality refer to?

• The size of the hydrocarbon reservoir

• The ability of a rock to store and transmit hydrocarbons

• The number of hydrocarbons in a reservoir

• The depth of the hydrocarbon reservoir

Answer explanation

Reservoir quality refers to the ability of a rock to store and transmit hydrocarbons, making it the correct choice.

What is the term used for a subsurface structure that traps oil and gas and prevents their upward migration?

• syncline

• anticline

• fault

• trap

Answer explanation

A trap is the term used for a subsurface structure that traps oil and gas and prevents their upward migration.

Crude oil is also called what?

• biomass

• fossils

• coal

• petroleum

Answer explanation

Crude oil is also called petroleum, not biomass, fossils, or coal.
