Oil & Gas Exhibits

	Your Gateway to Understanding Kuwait s Richest Resource A Realistic Overview of the Petroleum Industry In a Fun and Entertaining Environment

	Have you ever seen “Sound”? Cracked molecules? Drilled through solid rock?

	Discovery Place s Oil & Gas exhibits at The Scientific Center will allow you to do just that. You can drill an oil well, drive a seismic truck … you will even experience transporting oil to carriers as well as pipes and valves. You will get to know different distribution outlets. Do you want to work in a refinery turn oil to materials for tires and plastic? Well, you can do that too.

	Don t miss this chance … If you are ready, you can start exploring oil fields as soon as you walk through the doors to Discovery Place. You will see first hand how hard, but interesting the oil industry in the State of Kuwait is through the new Oil & Gas exhibits.

Seismic Survey	Close

Visitors drive a remote controlled vibrator truck and as they operate it, a computer graphic appears on the screen. This demonstrates how geophysicists use sound waves to look for oil and gas.

The Importance of Mud	Close

In a computer based game, visitors drill a well, watch for pressure and heat extremes, inject mud, and set casing.

Water Injection

Many times, the pressure within a well is too low to move the oil upwards.
Water is used to push the oil up and to begin to flow. Experience this yourself in Discovery Place.

Fractional Distillation Tower	Close

Visitors can pump crude oil into the distilling tower and see what may come out.

Safety Control Station	Close

Oil pressures must be maintained. Visitors maintain the levels of the oil manually while the changes occur more rapidly until the visitor is unable to keep up and has to rely on a computer.
