[...] la mise en œuvre des ressources pétrolières fait intervenir plusieurs étapes [...] La deuxième phase correspond aux campagnes de forages d'exploration nécessaires pour confirmer les potentialités détectées par la géophysique. En cas de succès, cette phase se prolonge par l'exécution de forages d'appréciation qui permettent au moyen de mesures électriques à l'intérieur des puits, d'études géophysiques fines, d'essais de production, d'évaluer la capacité de production du champ et de définir les conditions d'exploitation les plus économiques. 2, record 1, French, - forage%20d%27appr%C3%A9ciation
