Origin of Petroleum
• Inorganic theories
– carbides of iron, calcium etc.. When contacted with water
– action of hot water on limestone, CaCO3 and gypsum
• Organic theories
– Animal theories: due to decomposition of marine animals -
fishes, oysters, other microscopic organisms.
– Vegetal theories: due to decomposition of plants - seaweeds
Land plants such as those in swamps coal beds
oil
Microscopic plants - diatoms: Non-fossil organisms
planktons oil

Petroleum System
A Petroleum System requires timely
convergence of certain geologic factors and
geologic events.
These Include:
Seal
Reservoir rock
Migration
Mature source rock

Migration of Petroleum
• Source rock – mostly shales
• Final accumulation of oil – sandstones,
limestones, fractured shales
Trapped hydrocarbons
Limestone/sandstone secondary
Regional flow primary

10’s – 100’s km

Primary Migration
• Why does the hydrocarbon migrate from the source rock
(shale) to the more porous rocks (sandstone) above?

Types of Unconformities
• Disconformity
– An unconformity in which the beds above and below are
parallel
• Angular Unconformity
– An unconformity in which the older bed intersect the
younger beds at an angle
• Nonconformity
– An unconformity in which younger sedimentary rocks
overlie older metamorphic or intrusive igneous rocks

Classification of reservoir rocks
• Sedimentary rocks:
Source rock: Broken down
sediments
old sedimentary
+ igneous Wind + water
+ organisms +
chemical action
Compaction/ Deltas, shore
face, valley fills
Cementation:
Sandstones
46 43
Sedimentary Rocks
• Conglomerates:
Conglomerates Loose aggregate of rounded pebbles –
gravels
when cemented – conglomerates.
Porosity due to differential cementation
Oil fields in Pennsylvania, Texas, Oklahoma
• Sand, Sandstones:
Sandstones Finer sediments – yet noticeable, angular
Sands cemented by calcite – sandstones
silica – quartzite
Porosity due to voids and inter-grain spaces also differential
cementation
Pools in California, Alberta, Gulf Coast, Texas
46 44
Sedimentary Rocks
• Clays, shales: Fine grained particles – aluminous materials,
trapped water
Deep ocean sediments : Compaction yields shales
Porosity in cracks and fissures
Some pools in Santa Maria Basin, California, Gas in Kentucky
