DEVELOPING FORWARD MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR SEABED LOGGING USING COMSOL
Hydrocarbon exploration or known as oil and gas exploration is the search by petroleum geologist for hydrocarbon deposits beneath the Earth’s surface such as oil and gas. Hydrocarbon exploration is needed before drilling to locate the location of the hydrocarbon. At sea level, there are various meth...

Hydrocarbon exploration or known as oil and gas exploration is the search by petroleum geologist for hydrocarbon deposits beneath the Earth’s surface such as oil and gas.

Seismic method is using sound waves to explore geological structures underneath seabed in search for hydrocarbon. There are two types of seismic method which are refraction and reflection method.
