passages into Chinese on your Answer Sheet.
71. (!)Geologists, in contrast to some nongeologists, believe that knowledge of the
concepts of geology can help to find petroleum and, furthermore, often think that
petroleum geology and petroleum exploration are synonyms, which they are not.
Guesses that petroleum is formed by the transformation of highly compressed
organic material is already well known among the scientific community. If
the
petroleum geologists' view of oil generation and migration are not accepted, then
present exploration methods would need extensive modification.
~)Some petroleum explorationists still do not admit to a need for geologists to
aid them in their search. In 1982 a successful oil finder from Midland, Texas,
admitted to not using geologists because when his competitors hired them, all it did
was to increase their costs per barrel of oil found. The Russian State Oil Company is
under a statutory obligation imposed by its government to put to the test every claim
to an oil-finding method, be it a dowsing or some sophisticated scientific technique.
There are many examples of the previous case, and some scientists argue that
drilling according to a set of scientific data has the same outcome as drilling randomly.
(~)Petroleum geology is only one aspect of petroleum exploration
and
production. Leaving aside atypical (t~) enterprises, petroleum exploration now
involves integrated teams of people possessing a wide range of professional skills.
These skills include deep knowledge of local social situations, which is involved in
the purchase of potential oil fields especially in developing countries. Geophysical
surveying is involved in collecting data that helps people decide where drilling is
most appropriate. Petroleum engineering is concerned with activities related to the
most effective way of producing crude oil and natural gas.
