Louise Jordan
Louise Jordan (January 3, 1908 – November 22, 1966) was an American petroleum geologist. She received an honorary membership to the Oklahoma City Geological Society for her extensive subsurface research in the state of Oklahoma. Early life and education Louise Jordan was born on January 3, 1908, in the city of Joplin, Missouri, to Fred A. and Anna Jordan. She attended Port Henry High School in New York (state), New York, and later continued her education at Wellesley College to achieve a Bachelor of Arts degree in geology and chemistry. Jordan's interest in geology originated from her father, due to his career as a Mining engineering, mining engineer revolving around the field of geology. She received a master's degree in Micropaleontology, Micro-Paleontology at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, M.I.T. 1931. Upon completion of her master's degree, she taught physics at the Robert College, American College for Girls in Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey, before returning to Mass ...

Petroleum Geologist
A petroleum geologist is an earth scientist who works in the field of petroleum geology, which involves all aspects of oil discovery and production. Petroleum geologists are usually linked to the actual discovery of oil and the identification of possible oil deposits, gas caps, or leads. It can be a very labor-intensive task involving several different fields of science and elaborate equipment. Petroleum geologists look at the structural and sedimentary aspects of the stratum/strata to identify possible oil traps or tight shale plays. Profile Petroleum geologists make the decision of where to drill for petroleum. This is done by locating prospects within a sedimentary basin. Petroleum geologists determine a prospect's viability looking at seven main aspects in conventional petroleum geology: * Source: the presence of an organic-rich source rock capable of generating hydrocarbons during deep burial. * Reservoir: the usually porous rock and permeable unit that collects the ...
