    OIL AND NATURAL GAS FORMATIONOIL AND NATURAL GAS FORMATION

    Crude oil-oily flammable liquid consisting a variety of chemicalcompounds that are produced in sedimentary rocks of organic matter.

    Natural gas is a hydrocarbon consisting of mainly methane that is

    produced in sediments and sedimentary rocks during burial of organic

    matter

    OIL AND NATURAL GAS FORMATIONOIL AND NATURAL GAS FORMATION

    HC formation occurred through a process that took millions of

    ears

    Biotic remains of tinny plants and animals that lived over

    millions of years in aquatic environment

    Through years, these plants and animals die and are buried bylayers of sediments and water

    called biogenesis

    More layers build up and bury the materials deeper and deeper

    Enormous pressure from these layers combined with the

    pressure from deeper in the earths crust essentially cooked the

    biotic materials within certain rock layers to form the crude oil and

    natural gas we have today.

    OIL AND NATURAL GAS FORMATIONOIL AND NATURAL GAS FORMATION

    The oil seeps upwards through porous rock as aresult of pressure of the overlying layers. It does thisuntil it hits a non porous layer and collects like so.

    Exploration geologists are looking out for anticlinesand put a drilling rig and find O&G.

    or, w e pe ro eum was e ng orme ,cataclysmic events were occurring elsewhere. Greatearthquakes opened huge cracks, or faults, in the

    .downward. Molten rock thrust its way upward,displacing surrounding solid beds into a variety of

    . ,dropped downward or moved laterally. Someformations were exposed to wind and water erosionand then once a ain buried. Gulfs and inlets weresurrounded by land, and the resulting inland seaswere left to evaporate in the relentless sun. Earths

    very shape had been changed.
