    This document contains instructions for a geology exam consisting of two sections - Section A with two questions and Section B with five questions. Section A asks students to answer one of two questions, either explaining factors contributing to source rock formation and quality, or identifying and discussing the main source rock in the Guyana-Suriname Basin. Section B requires students to answer all five questions, which cover topics such as marine depositional environments, sedimentary rock characteristics, hydrocarbon play assessment using cross sections, well log analysis, and calculating original oil in place. The exam is three hours in duration.
