8. React to the statements (true or false).
In the early days of commercial oil exploration prospectors used geological and geographical methods to detect oil deposits.
The rocks that may contain oil or gas are very dense.
With present day exploration methods and equipment it is impossible to do a survey of the rock structures beneath the sea.
Visual methods of oil exploration include measurements of variations in the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field.
It is only after a well is drilled into a formation the presence of oil or gas can definitely be confirmed or denied.
Ask questions for the underlined words and word-combinations.
In the early days of commercial oil exploration prospectors used visual methods to find oil deposits.
Oil bearing strata lie under the sea or other rock formations.
Oil deposits are detected by visual, geological and geographical methods.
Geological methods include mapping the age of rocks, their nature and types of formations present.
Drilling is the final test for oil bearing strata.

Около 150 лет назад нефтяные месторождения находили путем наблюдения за выходом нефти на поверхность земли. Этот метод поиска нефти был мало эффективен.
Сегодня поиск нефти требует научного подхода.
Нефтяные месторождения определяются при помощи визуальных, геологических и географических методов.
Нефтеносные пласты залегают на дне морей и под пластами горных пород.
Породы, которые могут содержать нефть или газ, менее плотные.
Различия в плотности горных пород можно определить при помощи дистанционных исследований.
Геологи изучают состав горных пород. Геофизики рассматривают их физические, магнитные и гравитационные свойства.
Совместная работа ученых позволяет провести детальное обследование местности и получить полную картину структуры горных пород в глубине земли или под водой морей.
Если результаты обнадеживающие, переходят к следующему этапу нефтепоисковых работ – бурению скважины.
