  2. Petroleum trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_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).

  3. Anticline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticline

    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 the inverse of an anticline. A typical anticline is convex up in which the hinge or crest is the location where the curvature is greatest, and the limbs are the sides of the fold that dip away from the hinge.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Petroleum reservoir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_reservoir

    Examples of this kind of trap are an anticline trap, [16] a fault trap, and a salt dome trap. They are more easily delineated and more prospective than their stratigraphic counterparts, with the majority of the world's petroleum reserves being found in structural traps.

  6. Petroleum geology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_geology

    The use of geochemistry is relatively cost-effective that allows geologists to assess reservoir-related issues. Once oil to source rock correlation is found, petroleum geologists will use this information to render a 3D model of the basin. Now they can assess the timing of generation, migration, and accumulation relative to the trap formation.
