Name the second largest exporter of LNG.
Malaysia
The deepest area of the ocean basins
abyss
Bubble pulses or bubble noise that affect data quality. In marine seismic acquisition, the gas bubble produced by an air gun oscillates and generates subsequent pulses that cause source-generated noise. Careful use of multiple air guns can cause destructive interference of bubble pulses and alleviate the bubble effect. A cage, or a steel enclosure surrounding a seismic source, can be used to dissipate energy and reduce the bubble effect.
bubble effect
Special quantiles at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
Quartile
Special core analysis laboratory

The rock layer below which economic hydrocarbon reservoirs are not expected to be found, sometimes called economic basement.
basement
A permanently fixed marker cited in surveying, such as a concrete block or steel plate, with an inscription of location and elevation.
benchmark/ BM
A clustering technique that begins with the assignment of the number of clusters to be found.
k-means Cluster Analysis
A method of thermal recovery in which steam generated at surface is injected into the reservoir through specially distributed injection wells
steam flood
Which European country was second to impose a ban on hydraulic fracturing?
Bulgaria
A boundary of colliding lithospheric plates
active margin
The reduction in amplitude of an electromagnetic wave passing through the formation, usually measured in decibels/meter, dB/m. The term is used in particular with reference to the propagation resistivity log and the electromagnetic propagation log.
attenuation/ attenuate
Patterns in multiple fractures that intersect with each other.
Fracture Networks
A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow
viscous force
Henry Darcy began his work on fluid fluid flow while designing the fountains of this French city?
Dijon, 1856
Pertaining to biostratigraphy, the application of plant and animal fossils to date and correlate strata in order to elucidate Earth history, combining the principles of paleontology and stratigraphy
biostratigraphic
A method for reconstructing the location and shape of the wave at an earlier time using the wave equation.
back propagation
A measure of a curve describing the statistical frequency distribution in the region about its mode; the relative "peakedness" of the distribution.
Kurtosis
The ratio of effective permeability to phase viscosity. The overall mobility is a sum of the individual phase viscosities
mobility
Within 5 % give the percentage of petroleum supplied by the United States to Allied Forces in WWI.
0.8
Pertaining to a sedimentary rock, such as sandstone or limestone, that contains only minimal amounts of clay minerals
clean
The ability of a material to store a charge from an applied electrical field without conducting electricity.
electrical permitivity/ permitivity
A computational procedure incorporated in methods for determining the values to be assigned to grid elements on a map.
Gridding Algorithm
A technique for measuring a signal that is broadcast from a transmitter or source located in one well, to a receiver array placed in a neighboring well
