Petroleum geology is the study of the origins, occurrence, movement, accumulation, and exploration of hydrocarbon fuels. It refers to the specific set of geological disciplines that are applied to the search for hydrocarbons ( oil exploration ).
The Journal of Petroleum Geology is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the geology of petroleum and natural gas. It was established in 1978 and is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of Scientific Press Ltd. The editor-in-chief is Christopher Tiratsoo (Scientific Press Ltd.).
The journal was established in 1963 as Petroleum Geology Experiment Abstract (Chinese: 石油地质实验文摘) and renamed Experimental Petroleum Geology (Chinese: 石油地质实验) in 1965. [citation needed] In 1966, the journal ceased publication after three issues, but resumed publishing in 1978. [3]
Petroleum, or evidence of its immediate occurrence, can be found on the surface of the Earth. Oil seeps can be found near a fault zone, where the movement of Earth's crust can expose petroleum source rock, and thus the crude oil itself. [15] They can also be found on the ocean floor, and can be found using satellite imaging. [16]
Petrology (from Ancient Greek πέτρος (pétros) 'rock' and -λογία 'study of') is the branch of geology that studies rocks, their mineralogy, composition, texture, structure and the conditions under which they form. [1] Petrology has three subdivisions: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology. [2]

In petroleum geology, source rock is rock which has generated hydrocarbons or which could generate hydrocarbons. [1] Source rocks are one of the necessary elements of a working petroleum system. They are organic-rich sediments that may have been deposited in a variety of environments including deep water marine, lacustrine and deltaic.
