.WHAT 1S THE IMPORTANCE OF GETTING DATA USING GEOLOGICAL

MAPPING N THE PETROLEUM INDUS TRY? How ABOUT SUBSURFACE MAPPING?

-GEOLOGICAL MAPPING Is A TECHNIQUE USED TO NTERPRET THE GEOLOGICAL

MAP, PAR7ICULARLY THE GRAPHIC SYMBOLS REPRESENTIAJG GEOGRA PHICAL AND
GEOLOGICAL FEATURES. THIS TECHNIQVE 1S ESSEUTIALL WHEN IT CDMES T OIL
AvD GAS EXPLORATION. IT REQUIRES IpENT IFYING HE GEDLO GICAL
STRUCTURES (OR THE POTENTIAL HYDROCARBON AccwMULATION) INA SPEUAC
LOCATION BEPORE PROCEEDING T0 THE NEXT STEP. ANOTHER TECHNIQUE
USED IN OIL AND GAS EXPLORATIONN IS CALLED SUBSURFACE HAPPING.
