PETROLEUM GEOSCIENCES PROGRAM

Fieldtrip to Al Hayel - March 2009
  1. Use geophysical techniques (seismic reflection, seismic refraction, gravity and magnetic) to:
    1. Determine the subsurface structure of the survey area (Al Hiyar, east of Abu Dhabi).
    2. Determine the location, geometry and depth of the possible Semail Ophiolite thrust sheet in the survey area.
    3. Determine the location, orientation and geometry of any faults in the survey area.
  2. Correlate the surface outcrop to the subsurface structures using geological, geophysical and well data
  3. Map the water table and/or top of bedrock using seismic techniques
