Interesting video. I recommend to add some information about dependence of hydrocarbons temperature from depth of hydocarbons, T(h). And try to illustrate the examples of real oil deposits and their real characteristics.
Good video. I'm sitting on an old reservoir where one of the main oil bearing layers is directly above what is being called the "basement" rock granite. There are lots of organic remains in the oil bearing layer as well as layers above. However, it seems that I am missing two out of the five you say are required. Is the oil being held in the source rock, or do you think the source rock is below the granite?
So Eric, what he is describing is conventional or typical. There are many different geological situations. Now without knowing the geology of youre area it is very difficult to make an assessment. However, typically the "basement" rock is below any sediments that could contain hydrocarbons. Granite is a metamorphosed igneous rock, so that being said it possibly could overlay sediments depending on the time frame. The source rocks are typically shales, which have a lot of organics within them.
Hi @Dr. Chris, just subcribed to your channel & found it very useful. Just a quick question, what is the different between petroleum system & play fairway?
Was oil created in large volumes during catastrophic events such as asteroid strikes? I am interested in the organic material and when major depositions occurred...do they correlate to major catastrophic events? In other words, was energy from those events and widespread death of organisms stored in the petroleum over time?
Geologists only think and talk about periods of millions of years. They have different methods for determining the age of rock layers. However, there is one small problem. Ancient books tell us that a cycle of natural disasters threatens the earth and all living things. The cause of this cycle of disasters is a ninth planet in our solar system orbiting the sun in an eccentric orbit. Features of the natural disaster include a massive tidal wave, higher than the highest mountain, flooding, storms, rain, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and a fiery asteroid bombardment. That planet is surrounded by a gigantic twisting cloud of dust and meteorites. That cloud obscures the atmosphere, pollutes the water and covers the whole planet Earth with that dust. At the end of the crossing of this planet 9, the earth is covered with a horizontal layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of sea and land animals, shells and the deposit of that dust cloud and asteroids. So in every layer on our planet we will find material of the same antiquity, perhaps many millions of years old: the deposit of extraterrestrial clay and meteorites. Even the youngest, topmost earth layer, which is less than 6,000 years old, also includes the same very old deposit. If you don't know about this cycle, you have no idea how our history has evolved. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
