Petroleum is a general term for oil and natural gas. Petroleum, also called crude oil, is a fossil fuel. Like coal and natural gas, petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria. Over millions of years of intense heat and pressure, these organic remains (fossils) transformed into carbon-rich substances we rely on as raw materials for fuel and a wide variety of products. 10/21/2014 How the Petroleum is formed ? oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs. Over the years, the remains were covered by layers of mud. Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we today call crude oil . The word "petroleum" means "rock oil" or "oil from the earth."
Theory of Oil and Gas Formation
The teory of oil and gas formation consists of : 1. anorganic theory (abiogenesa) 2. organic theory (biogenesa).
Anorganic theory
Anorganic theory of the origin of the petroleum states that hydrogen and carbon came together under great temperature and pressure, far below the earths surface and formed oil and gas. The oil and gas then seeped through porous rock to deposit in various natural underground traps. Organic Theory According to organic theory, the oil and gas are formed from remains of prehistoric plants and animals. Remains of plants have been transformed to coal and animalss to oil and gas. This remains are settle in to seas and lands along with sands and slits , mud and other minerals. As the rocks and slit settled, layer upon layer piled into rivers, along coastlines and on the seabottom.
Source rocks
Maturation What is the concern of petroleum system? Source rock is a rock that contains a lot of organic content as the basic material of oil and gas. Maturation is a process of maturation of kerogen in the source rock. Reservoir
Reservoir rock is porous rock that contains oil and gas that discovered and produced at the time. Migration
Result of the high pressure in the source rock caused by the load of the rock layers on it Timing
A timing time charging oil and gas on a trap is very important.
Seal and Trap seal rock is a rock that has no crack pores or have so small pores that is difficult to put the oil or natural gas liquids. Usually this type of rock is a shale rock. Meanwhile the trap is a structure that allows to trapped gas. The structure can be either anticline trap, fault, etc. Petroleum Product Plastic Liquified Petroleum Gas Fertilizer Fuel 10/21/2014
