Sample answer:
Can you explain any experience you have with geophysical surveys for underground storage reservoirs?
As a geophysicist with extensive experience in the field, I have conducted numerous geophysical surveys for underground storage reservoirs, utilizing a range of geophysical techniques to characterize subsurface geological formations and assess their potential for safe and efficient storage.
Seismic Reflection Surveys:
- Employed seismic reflection methods to image subsurface structures, identify faults and fractures, and determine the depth and extent of potential storage zones.
- Processed and interpreted seismic data to create detailed subsurface maps and cross-sections, providing insights into the reservoir’s geometry, continuity, and potential containment capacity.
Electromagnetic Surveys:
- Conducted electromagnetic (EM) surveys to map subsurface conductivity variations, which can indicate the presence of fluids, fractures, and other geological features that may impact reservoir performance.
- Utilized both surface and borehole EM methods to obtain complementary data from different depths and scales, enhancing our understanding of the reservoir’s subsurface characteristics.
Gravity and Magnetic Surveys:
- Performed gravity surveys to measure subsurfac… Read full answer
