Petroleum Systems :: Petrol Oil Gas Geology

petroleum Systems I. Introduction This paper covers a very interesting discipline for people who are keen on the geological concepts to the uncovering of petroleum. The undecided matter itself covers research findings on how related areas in petroleum discovery can be appreciated by students in this particular landing field more so, by ordinary people who whitethorn or may not have a deeper level of understanding and appreciation some the wealth of the earth, particularly on petroleum. The work required of this paper is not easy. It takes a lot of patience in finding the right coalesce of materials that would produce the kind of output the student wants to find out and to upgrade his thoughts about the subject matter. Considering that the subject matter is racyly technical, one has to patiently go through the rigors of reading lots of materials, comparing and writing take in notes and drawing conclusions for one self. How one appreciates the subject matter and his researched work sincerely yours reflects how this paper, as a whole, is well thought about, understood and presented. It is hoped that at the give the sack of this paper, one is able to get the bigger picture about the processes conglomerate in the petroleum system, from its source to trap, and that he can draw for himself, in laymans terms, how processes can be understood by ordinary people.II. Petroleum Petroleum occurs in a liquid phase as crude cover and condensate and in a gaseous phase as graphic gas (Petroleum Geology, 2003). The development of petroleum in gaseous phase is more often than not dependent on the kind of source rock from which the petroleum was form and the physical and thermal environment in which it exists (Petroleum Geology, 2003). Petroleum is commonly place as the crude oil, in liquid form, which is found deep to a lower place the ground surface around less than 20,000 feet. Petroleum is found in sedimentary basins in sedimentary rocks and for it to develop accumulations it has to meet several conditions, to wit (1) There must be a source rock, usually high in organic matter, from which petroleum can be generated (2) There must be a
