Geologist: Quality of the reservoir rock (less than 0.1 md
permeability in the U.S. and less than 1.0 md permeability in
Canada)
Explorationist: Type of trap (static versus dynamic)
Geochemist: The state of HCs are in (sorbed, biodegraded, and

even as a solid)
Petroleum Engineer: The technology required to commercially

extract HCs.
Physicist: The physical laws that control the occurrence of

these hydrocarbons.
Paradigm Shift
1961
Kuhn (1962)
Stage 1: Pre-paradigm shift period where one is confronted with

a multiplicity of observations and interpretations on the subject
but no integrated theory or interpretation.
Stage 2: short time period, a paradigm produces an accepted

model and our learning curve is very steep, thus creating a
paradigm shift
Stage 3: Mop up period: documenting more examples,

developing physical reasons to explain the paradigm,
establishing limitations and boundary conditions, developing
realistic variations, and citing examples where the paradigm
needs to be adjusted or may not be valid at all.
