  2. Petroleum trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratigraphic_trap

    Anticlinal trap. An anticline is an area of the subsurface where the strata have been pushed into forming a domed shape. If there is a layer of impermeable rock present in this dome shape, then water-insoluble hydrocarbons can accumulate at the crest until the anticline is filled to the spill point (the highest point where hydrocarbons can escape the anticline).

    Cross-sectional diagram of an anticline Anticline exposed in road cut (small syncline visible at far right). Note the man standing in front of the formation, for scale. New Jersey, U.S. In structural geology, an anticline is a type of fold that is an arch-like shape and has its oldest beds at its core, whereas a syncline is

  4. River anticline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_anticline

    A river anticline is a geologic structure that is formed by the focused uplift of rock caused by high erosion rates from large rivers relative to the surrounding areas. [1] An anticline is a fold that is concave down, whose limbs are dipping away from its axis, and whose oldest units are in the middle of the fold. [ 2 ]

  5. Fold (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(geology)

    Anticlinal traps are formed by folding of rock. For example, if a porous sandstone unit covered with low permeability shale is folded into an anticline, it may form a hydrocarbons trap, oil accumulating in the crest of the fold. Most anticlinal traps are produced as a result of sideways pressure, folding the layers of rock, but can also occur ...

    Homocline near Lulworth Cove, England Diagram of a homocline Homocline in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. In structural geology, a homocline or homoclinal structure (from old Greek: homo = same, cline = inclination), is a geological structure in which the layers of a sequence of rock strata, either sedimentary or igneous, dip uniformly in a single direction having the same general inclination in ...

  7. Blowout (well drilling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowout_(well_drilling)

    A petroleum trap. An irregularity (the trap ) in a layer of impermeable rocks (the seal ) retains upward-flowing petroleum, forming a reservoir. Petroleum or crude oil is a naturally occurring, flammable liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights, and other organic compounds, found in geologic formations ...
