Question 1: What is the primary goal of assessing geological formations in the field of geology and petroleum engineering? A) To predict oil and gas prices B) To calculate well depth C) To understand the composition, structure, and characteristics of subsurface rocks D) To optimize drilling rig operations Question 2: What term is used to describe the study of the distribution, arrangement, and geometry of rock layers and their properties? A) Reservoir simulation B) Petrophysics C) Geostatistical modeling D) Stratigraphy Question 3: In geological assessment, what does "core sampling" involve? A) Estimating the geological age of formations B) Collecting cylindrical rock samples from boreholes for analysis C) Measuring the wellbore azimuth D) Determining wellbore design specifications Question 4: What type of geological data is typically obtained through well logging in the oil and gas industry? A) Seismic interpretation B) Formation temperature C) Rock and fluid properties, such as porosity and resistivity D) Wellhead design specifications Question 5: What is the primary purpose of "seismic surveys" in assessing geological formations? A) To optimize drilling rig operations B) To calculate well depth C) To estimate the geological age of the formation D) To create images of subsurface rock layers and identify potential reservoirs Question 6: In assessing geological formations, what is the term for the study of rock properties such as porosity, permeability, and mineral composition? A) Petrophysics B) Well control C) Mud logging D) Geostatistical modeling Question 7: What is the role of "mud logging" in assessing geological formations during drilling operations? A) To optimize drilling rig operations B) To calculate well depth C) To assess geological formations and detect hydrocarbon shows D) To determine well azimuth Question 8: In geological assessment, what does "stratigraphy" primarily focus on? A) Estimating well depth B) Determining wellbore design specifications C) Characterizing the chronological arrangement of rock layers and their ages D) Seismic interpretation Question 9: What is the primary use of "well logging tools" in assessing geological formations? A) To calculate well depth B) To optimize drilling rig operations C) To collect data on rock properties and reservoir characteristics D) To measure formation pressure Question 10: In geological assessment, what is the primary objective of "cuttings analysis"? A) To optimize drilling rig operations B) To calculate well depth C) To assess geological formations by analyzing rock cuttings brought to the surface during drilling D) To predict oil and gas prices

Question 11: What is the term for the process of creating a three-dimensional model of subsurface geological formations based on well and seismic data? A) Core sampling B) Well logging C) Reservoir simulation D) Geostatistical modeling Question 12: How is "porosity" typically defined in geological assessment? A) The pressure gradient of the wellbore B) The width of the hydraulic fracture C) The ability of rock to transmit fluids D) The void space within a rock, which can contain fluids Question 13: What geological concept is used to describe the ability of a rock to transmit fluids, such as oil and gas? A) Permeability B) Formation pressure C) Well control D) Geostatistical modeling Question 14: In geological assessment, what is the primary role of "reservoir characterization"?
