The Story of Petroleum

Chemical composition of OilHydrocarbons

• Gas – C1-C4

• Liquid – C5-C15

• Solid – above C15

Petroleum forms from oceanic micro-organisms

Natural “traps” keep oil and gas from oozing out at the surface

How to find oil: Source rock, reservoir rock, structural traps

Source Rock• Organic rich shale

– Late Cretaceous (90 Ma)– Late Jurassic (150 Ma)

• Oil window– Thermal history 60-120oC– 2000-4500 meter

Reservoir Rock• Porosity and permeability

– Sandstone and limestone

Oil Traps

How to find oil

• Surface exploration

• Subsurface exploration– Seismic reflection– Drilling
