This document provides information about a 40-minute mock mid-semester test for the course GE3244 Fundamentals of Petroleum Exploration. The test is worth 10% of the module and is closed book. Section A is compulsory and involves interpreting and labeling a seismic section to identify the petroleum system and indicate where to drill the first exploration well. Section B is optional and involves answering 3 out of 6 questions, with each question worth 25 marks and allotted 10 minutes to answer. The questions cover topics related to petroleum exploration including burial maturation, well logging, stratigraphy, rock and petroleum classification, traps, and seismic surveys.

40 minute MOCK Mid-Semester Test worth 10% of the module.
GE3244 Fundamentals of Petroleum Exploration.
This is a closed book test.
COMPULSORY SECTION A (10 minutes, 25 marks) Interpret and label this seismic section (attached) in terms of the petroleum system. Where would you drill the first exploration well?
You will be provided with the seismic section at the test. OPTIONAL SECTION B (30 minutes, 75 marks) On the answer sheet provided, answer 3 questions (10 minutes, 25 marks each) out of the following 6 options: You will be offered 6 options from the following: 1. Draw and annotate a diagram that illustrates depth and temperature versus relative amount of petroleum formed due to burial in the oil and gas kitchens. 2. Draw and annotate an H/C vs O/C Van Krevelin diagram, indicating the various petroleum molecules, the various types of kerogen, and how they evolve during thermal maturation. 3. Make a list naming the common well logging techniques and list their uses. 4. Write down a definition of three types of unconformity and draw sketches to illustrate them. 5. On a labelled sketch, illustrate how the rock cycle works. 6. Draw labelled sketches that illustrate the first 5 Principles of Stratigraphy. 7. Draw a labelled diagram that illustrates how siliciclastic rocks are classified. 8. Construct a block diagram that illustrates the environments of deposition of siliciclastics on land and in the sea. 9. Draw a series of diagrams that illustrate the different stages of transgressions and regressions. 10. Construct a diagram that illustrates Dunhams classification of limestones. 11. Construct an annotated block diagram that illustrates the various components of the carbonate factory. 12. Draw an annotated diagram that illustrates the various petroleum traps that theoretically could be found in the vicinity of a large salt dome. 13. Draw an annotated diagram that illustrates how seismic surveys are carried out at sea.
