Most of the world's largest oilfields are located in the Middle East, but there are also supergiant (>10 billion bbls) oilfields in Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, Kazakhstan, and Russia.
Sound waves travel at different speeds through different types of rocks. By listening to sound waves using devices called “geophones,” scientists can measure the speed at which the sound moves through the rock and determine where there might be rocks with oil in them.
Geologists often use seismic surveys on land and in the ocean to find the right places to drill wells. Seismic surveys on land use echoes from a vibration source at the surface of the earth, usually a vibrating pad under a special type of truck. Geologists can also use small amounts of explosives as a vibration source.
The borehole depth varies, but on average are about 6,000 feet deep for an oil reserve–more than one mile deep. Casing is set around the internal circumference of the borehole to provide structural integrity. The borehole works as a well with a diameter that can range from 12 centimeters to an entire meter.
A unique number assigned to each oil and gas well drilled in the US. Although the API number is an industry standard established and maintained by the American Petroleum Institute, the number is generally assigned to the wells by state regulatory agencies. It contains at least ten digits.
