Questions and Answers 2026
manage technical aspects of drilling exploratory, production, and
injection wells -
correct answer ✅drilling engineers
evaluates the well to determine the ability of the borehole to
produce petroleum -
correct answer ✅Well Log Analysts (Petro-physicists)
includes subsurface engineers, manage the interface between the
reservoir and the well including perforations, sand control,
downhole flow control, and downhole monitoring equipment;
evaluate artificial lift methods; and, also select surface equipment
that separates the produced fluids (oil, natural gas, and water) -
correct answer ✅Production Engineers
work to optimize production of oil and gas via proper well
placement, production rates, and enhanced oil recovery
techniques. -
correct answer ✅Reservoir Engineers
Oil demand; the amount of oil the world uses in a given time
period. -

Questions and Answers 2026
Oil Supply; the amount of oil the world produces in a given time
period. -
correct answer ✅production
the amount of oil in stock tanks that is not needed for current
supply demand -
correct answer ✅inventories
Oil from wells that are already drilled but not currently producing. If
spare production capacity is high, then there is most likely little
incentive for engineers to drill new wells. -
correct answer ✅Spare Production Capacity
The price of oil or gas might increase or decrease because of
tensions between countries. In addition, investment in less stable
countries carries a higher risk than does an investment in a stable
country. -
correct answer ✅Geopolitical Risks
examples of market variables -
correct answer ✅Future market trading activities, commodity
investment, exchange rates, equity markes

Questions and Answers 2026
porosity equation -
correct answer ✅volume of pore space / bulk volume of rock
formation
porosity between grains -
correct answer ✅Inter-granular porosity
porosity within grains -
correct answer ✅Intra-granular porosity
mineral crystals that have grown around the sediment grains &
bonded them together. -
correct answer ✅Cementation
the size of the sand grains do not affect porosity: however, the
range of variations of sand grains affect porosity. -
correct answer ✅Packing
if sand grains within a reservoir are elongated or flat and are
packed with their flat surfaces together than porosity might be low

Questions and Answers 2026
compared to a reservoir with spherical shaped sand grains. -
correct answer ✅Shape
arrangement in which grains were laid down and compacted,
amount of clay or other material that cements the sand grains
together. -
correct answer ✅Deposition
which three main factors affect porosity? -
correct answer ✅packing, shape, deposition
A rock is _____ when its pores are connected, so that fluids can
flow through it by moving from one pore to another pore. -
correct answer ✅permeable
The interconnected pore volume or void space in a rock that
contributes to fluid flow or permeability in a reservoir. Effective
porosity excludes isolated pores and pore volume occupied by
water adsorbed on clay minerals or other grains. Total porosity is
the total void space in the rock whether or not it contributes to
fluid flow. Effective porosity is typically less than total porosity.
