The science of geology is defined as of two types i.e. geochemistry and geophysics. Geochemistry is a major component of petroleum geology which describes the knowledge about the mineralogical composition of rocks quality and pore-fluid chemistry  whereas Geophysics contributes to understanding the structure involved in trapping, folds, faults and understanding the wells known as, lithology, porosity and their applications. Petrochemical and processing chemistry is a branch of chemistry that studies the transformation of crude oil  i.e. (petroleum) and natural gas into beneficial products or raw materials. These petrochemicals have become an unique part of the chemical industry today, and can readily be applied to fundamental human needs like health, hygiene, housing and food. It is a designing science and an innovative business sector, constantly adapting to new environments and new technology challenges.
