1. Modern petroleum exploration is unthinkable without the aid of magnetism, gravity, and seismic surveys in finding potential petroleum traps. Nor could any finds be evaluated effectively without geophysical wireline well logs to measure the lithology, porosity, and petroleum content of a reservoir. 利用现代石油勘探手段寻找潜在的石油圈闭时，如果不借助地磁、重力和地震勘探，是不可想象的。同样，如果没有地球物理电缆测井来测量岩性、孔隙度和储层中的石油含量，对任何发现的圈闭也不可能做到有效评价。 2. Petroleum geology is the application of geology to the exploration for and production of oil and gas. Geology itself is firmly based on chemistry, physics, and biology, involving the application of essentially abstract concepts to observed data. In the past these data were basically observation and subjective, but they are now increasingly physical and chemical, and therefore more objective. 石油地质学是地质学在油气勘探开发和生产中的应用。地质学本身是以化学、物理和生物学为基础，应用其基本的抽象理论概念来解释观察到的资料。在过去，这些资料主要凭主观观察获得，现在借助物理和化学手段，因而更具有客观性。 3. The king of the oilfield is driller. He is a very skilled man. Sometimes he sends his drill more than a mile into the earth. During the process of drilling, gas and oil at great pressure may suddenly be met, and if this rushes out and catches fire, the oil well may never be brought into operation at all. This danger is well known and steps are always taken to prevent it. 油田的主角是钻井工，他们是熟练的技术工人。有时他钻入地下一英里深。在钻探过程中，由于巨大的压力，可能会突然碰上气和油，而油气如果喷出来或着了火，此油井可能永远无法启用。这种危险是人所共知的，因此人们采取防护措施。 4. There are four main areas of the world where deposits of oil appear. The first is that of the middle East, and includes the regions near the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, another is the area between North and South America, and the third, between Asia and Australia, includes the islands of Sumatra, Borneo(婆罗洲) and Java. The fourth is the part near the North Pole. 世界上已探明的主要蕴藏石油的地区有四个：第一个是中东地区，包括里海、黑海、红海和波斯湾附近地区，另一个是北美和南美间的油区，而第三个是亚洲和澳洲之间的油区，包括苏门答腊岛、婆罗岛和爪哇岛，第四个是靠近北极的那部分区域。 5. Scientists predict that the world’s known oil resources will run out early in the next centur
