Since physics is a science which deals with matter and energy in a fundamental way, it is obvious that every purposeful activity has some relationship with physics. Physical problems of importance to the petroleum industry involve to some degree all fields of physics; my task this afternoon is thus to try to convey to you something of the scope of physical research in the petroleum industry and to describe a few areas of physics which are of particular interest to the petroleum industry.
