The document provides an introduction to petroleum geology, outlining the six key elements needed for petroleum formation: source rocks, heat, a migration pathway, reservoirs, seals, and traps. It discusses the types of source rocks such as marine mudrocks and deltas, how heat causes maturation and defines the oil and gas windows, and the different kinds of traps like stratigraphic, structural, combination, and hydrodynamic. Principal figures illustrate source rocks, migration pathways, and examples of different trap types. Readings from two textbooks are also listed.
