8826 T-U generation
accumulates as oil or gas.
The physical and chemical alteration of sediments and pore fluids at temperatures and pressures
8827 T-U catagenesis

processes, this method provides less energy loss than the conventional insitu combustion process:

A widespread marine flooding surface that separates the underlying transgressive systems tract
8830 T-U from the overlying highstand systems tract. It is defined as the turnaround from transgression to Maximum Flooding Surface (MFS)
aggradation and progradation. The surface also marks the deepest water facies within a sequence.

The intermediate layer of the Earth beneath the crust that is about 2900 km thick [1820 miles] and
8837 T-U mantle
overlies the core of the Earth.
This alteration occurs as rocks respond to changes in temperatures, pressures and fluids,
commonly along the edges of colliding lithospheric plates. The pressures and temperatures at
8838 T-U metamorphism
which this process occurs are higher than those of diagenesis, but no clear boundary between the
two has been established.
This seismic data is acquired with a downhole seismic source in one well and downhole seismic
