1. Do some Internet research on Chevron’s use of seismic imaging technology. Briefly explain how it works and how it has helped Chevron discover new oil and gas reservoirs. Answer: To understand how seismic imaging technology helped Chevron discover new oil and gas reservoirs‚ we must investigate the mechanism of seismic imaging technology. This technology sends the shockwaves to underground to know if there is crude oil and other natural gases beneath the ground. In this way geologists calculates

CRAFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INTRODUCTION Hydraulics is based on a very simple fact of nature - you cannot compress a liquid. You can compress a gas (think about putting more and more air into a tire‚ the more you put in‚ the higher the pressure). If you’re really strong you can compress a solid mass as well. But no matter how much pressure you apply onto a liquid‚ it isn’t possible to compress it. Now if you put that liquid into a sealed system and push on it at one end‚ that pressure is transmitted

model that describes the storage and movement of water between the biosphere‚ atmosphere‚ lithosphere‚ and the hydrosphere. Water on our planet can be stored in any one of the following major reservoirs: atmosphere‚ oceans‚ lakes‚ rivers‚ soils‚ glaciers‚ snowfields‚ and groundwater. Water moves from one reservoir to another by way of processes like evaporation‚ condensation‚ precipitation‚ deposition‚ runoff‚ infiltration‚ sublimation‚ transpiration‚ melting‚ and groundwater flow. The oceans supply
