1. Two students are discussing the oil well to the left:
Student A: People have found oil in Layer C at other locations because Layer B is an impermeable trap. Since Layer B is above Layer C, I think the oil well will provide lots of oil.
Student B: I'm not sure if layer B is an effective trap. I think that the oil will escape.
Which student is correct and why?
2. In the picture below, layers A and F are the only impermeable layers. Which of the numbered wells are likely to produce oil? (note that the well only sucks up oil at its very bottom, near where the numbered label is located)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (Circle the wells that will have oil)
Using your answer(s) to the previous questions explain your reasoning for choosing these wells.
