The journal was established in 1963 as Petroleum Geology Experiment Abstract (Chinese: 石油地质实验文摘) and renamed Experimental Petroleum Geology (Chinese: 石油地质实验) in 1965. [ citation needed ] In 1966, the journal ceased publication after three issues, but resumed publishing in 1978. [ 3 ]
In 2005, IOGP absorbed the European Petroleum Survey Group or EPSG (1986–2005) into its structure as IOGP Geomatics Committee. EPSG was a scientific organization with ties to the European petroleum industry consisting of specialists working in applied geodesy , surveying , and cartography related to oil exploration .
In the petroleum industry, lithology, or more specifically mud logging, is the graphic representation of geological formations being drilled through and drawn on a log called a mud log. As the cuttings are circulated out of the borehole , they are sampled, examined (typically under a 10× microscope) and tested chemically when needed.
The Rumaila oil field is a super-giant oil field [1] located in southern Iraq, approximately 50km to the south west of Basra City. [2] Discovered in 1953 by the Basrah Petroleum Company (BPC), an associate company of the Iraq Petroleum Company (IPC), [3] [4] [5] the field is estimated to contain 17 billion barrels, which accounts for 12% of Iraq's oil reserves, estimated at 143 billion barrels.
