Welcome in MOL Groupol Exploration Laboratories.

My name is Mikls Varga and let me


introduce my colleague Richard Orban. In this short time we try to show it to you what is our
job is in the HC exploration and how we can support the companys the HC exploration do
we help it.
At Bksmegyer you can find the geological, the PVT and the chromatographically labours. In
addition we have a geochemistry (the vitrinite part of the geochemistry is here and later
Richrd will speak about it) and core analysis labour at Nagykanizsa and a RockEval labour at
Szolnok.
Now Im showing will show you the Geological part of the laboratory to you..
Im presenting will present you a short ppt to you, which introduceshow the main processes
of the geological labour afterthan we are going to go around.
So what is our job, what are we doing?
Our main task is to continuously support the drilling processes and at the end createmake a
complex geological interpretation from the material, in our case from rocks and summarize a
lot of important and useful data for the further drilling, field and other projects..

According to the exploration phase we always investigated three different sample types.
- the first type is the surficial rock samples, which are very important at the first stage
of the exploration. Before the seismic investigations, or well marking and drilling the
field and structural geologists (if we are lucky we do it) collect outcrop samples from
the new exploration area and, from every formation n order to correlation and
identification the concerned rocks, facies. Besides the field geology working we , for
analogy and for the formations recognition. Of course before this we need to read a
lot of literatures, articles to get to knowlearn about the area.

- the second sample type is the cutting samples, which are taken came during the
drilling from the well. The cuttings samples are few mm sized, crushed and mixed
rocks, which made by drill bit. In the well the cuttings samples represent almost the
whole drill lithology. So we need to summarizemake a complete interpretation from
these small rock pieces. Shortly I will show you some real sample later.to you.

- the third sample type is the core samples. These are cylindrical rocks which are
predominantly cametaken from the reservoir, or cap rocks. These cores are the most
important part of the well, because we can get the most information only from these
samples. And these cores represent the reservoir qualities.

First of all Before the observations we prepare the samples for measuring instrumental
investigations, such as petrography, palaeontology, XRD, Carbonate measuringements, CL
microscopy, vitrinite measuringements etc.
This process is the following:
At first step we select the cuttings samples according to the MasterLog, which is
made by the Well site geologists on the field, directly the drilling. The MasterLog is a
lithological column, which is the first information about the well.
After the selection under Stereomicroscope we separated the different rock types for
thin sections under Stereomicroscope equipment. Of course we createmake a
description about the rocks and make take a lots of photos for this documentation.

We usually make the same procedure with the coresThe core analysis is similar as the
previous process, the only differentbut we investigated large, not fractured (in better case)
samples, with original, sedimentological features.
The thin sections, which are madeare here (I will show) are thin rock samplesapproximately
(about 30 m), which can be investigated and defined under polarizing microscope.
With polarizing microscope we investigated the samples with petrographic and
paleontologic eyes. Similarly to the stereo microscope we createmake a detailed description
(summary) about the rock or rock types with lots of photo.
InN addition we usually complete the observations with carbonate measurements
(especially at carbonate rocks), with X-ray analysis and CL microscope.

After all these observation we collect the information and we try to determine the
formations, the age of the rocks, the depositional environments, the sedimentology, etc.

Why these information are important?
- Because if we know the formations, we know where are we are in the drilling and
how we can continue it. Besides or we can get any information about know is it a
caprock or reservoir rock; or is likely essential to collect further cores , we need to
take cores or not, etc.
- potential age and depositional environment: stratigraphical column, facies analysis
- sedimentology: HC reservoir quality (porosity/permeability) and diagenesis phase
(what happened with the rock deposited and after totally the rock deposited so
faruntil now).
