	Petroleum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The modern history of oil began in 1853, with the discovery of the process of oil distillation.
		The first "rock oil" mine was created in Bobrka, near Krosno in southern Poland in the following year and the first refinery (actually a distillery) was built in Ulaszowice, also by Lukasiewicz.
		The oil is landed at Sullom Voe terminal in the Shetlands.

		As the rock is buried to depths of about 3-4 km, it usually reaches temperatures of about 100-150° C. At this point, the chemical bonds between the various molecules in the kerogen start to break, resulting in the release of several types of molecules, but most are carbon- and hydrogen-bearing molecules (referred to as hydrocarbons).
		This process is sometimes described as "cooking" of the source rock, and a source rock at this point in its journey from shallow to deep burial is said to be thermally mature and in the main zone of oil generation (often referred to as the "oil kitchen" or "oil window").
		Oil will continue to enter the carrier bed and migrate to the trap until the kerogen in the source rock is no longer able to produce more liquid hydrocarbons.

	nonrenewable - OIL/Petroleum
		Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs.
		Over one-fourth of the crude oil produced in the United States is produced offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
		Crude oil is measured in barrels (abbreviated "bbls").

	Chararacterizing Oil Deposit -Explanation Explanation
		Oil deposits are generally formed in younger rocks, especially those which have not undergone metamorphic processes.
		Oil does not mix with water, is less dense than water, and seeks a higher position in the rocks.
		Many of the oil deposits at Prudhoe Bay are formed in traps caused by unconformities, which are erosional surfaces in the rocks which formed when the rocks were uplifted and subsequently buried again (Figure F23).

	SPACE.com -- Prospecting for Oil? Look In an Asteroid Crater
		Oil prospectors get excited if the "reservoir rocks" that contain the oil are covered by a contorted layer of "cap rocks" because this can confine oil in natural reservoirs.
		Basement rocks are rocks that have never been near the surface of the Earth.
		The classical view is that source rocks must have layers containing the bodies of dead plants and animals and that these gradually change to oil.

	RecipeForOil
		The third factor that determines a rock’s porosity is the amount of material that precipitated from seawater and accumulated in the pores.
		Oil and gas travel through pores of the reservoir rock, with the help of water, until they reach an impermeable layer of rock through which they cannot pass.
		Oil and gas might lie in reservoir rock just under the top of the dome, which is capped by an impermeable layer of rock.

	Characterizing Charge Risk Using Oil Geochemistry - OilTracers LLC
		Oil geochemistry (oil fingerprinting) can be used in conjunction with basin modeling to quantify risk associated with many of the components in the petroleum system.
		The biomarker distribution in an oil can be used to infer characteristics of the source rock that generated the oil without examining the source rock itself.
		Then, the biomarker ratios are measured in an oil sample from the basin, and the values are projected onto calibration curves to quantitatively predict characteristics of the source rock.

	(offmen) How Oil Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Oil is not actually in pools underground; it is held in permeable rock, such as sandstone or ancient coral reefs, like a sponge.
		Oil and gas become concentrated in areas where there are high spots, or domes, under the layer of cap rock.
		In places where the cap rock is thin, such as in parts of Iran and Kuwait, oil and gas leak from their reservoirs onto the surface.

	Museletter # 150b / September 2004: The Abiotic Oil Controversy - a speculative theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Based on a variety of biomarker and gasoline-range maturity indicators, these oils are estimated to have been generated at depths of 4572 to 4877 m (15,000 to 16,000 ft) at vitrinite reflectance maturities of 0.08 to 1.0% and temperatures of 150 to 170°C (300 to 340°F).
		Oil and natural gas typically show a C-12 to C-13 ratio similar to that of the biological materials from which they are assumed to have originated.
		However, the assertion that all oil is abiotic requires extraordinary support, because it must overcome abundant evidence, already cited, to tie specific oil accumulations to specific biological origins through a chain of well-understood processes that have been demonstrated, in principle, under laboratory conditions.

	West Africa Source Rock and Oil Study
		Rock samples may include complete well samples, e.g., cuttings, on which geochemical profiles can be generated, whether source rocks are present or not.
		Oil samples are needed to characterize and confirm source rocks or to infer source rock characteristics if a positive correlation is not made (Figure 2, 3 and 4).
		There are two phases to the study: (1) acquisition and interpretation of standard geochemical data for assessing source rocks, maturity, and oil types as well as oil-to-oil and oil-to-source rock correlations; and (2) kinetic analysis of immature petroleum source rocks and oils (either due to the unavailability of immature sources or for oil decomposition analysis).

	OIL!
		It is still impossible to tell whether oil is actually present at a given place, and whether pressure and porosity are sufficient to make it exploitable, but good indications are given of condtions that might favor the accumulation of oil.
		In the Oil Crisis of 2000, which was mainly a doubling of price from about $15 per barrel to $30 a barrel, the decision of OPEC to increase production at the behest of the United States and Europe has brought out the observation that only Saudi Arabia has any exess capacity.
		Estimates of oil in the ground are notoriously unreliable.

	Oil Struck In Andrews County! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Oil that brought $1 a barrel in October 1930 was worth 10 cents in July 1931.
		The fact that the oil from the Ogden well was heavy with a low gravity of 26 to 31 and was impregnated with excessive sulphur caused the pipeline companies to not want to build a pipeline into the county.
		The Deep Rock people moved several 10,000-barrel tanks onto the lease and partially filled them but there was little or no demand for this type of oil.

	Auk, The: Experimental test of the importance of preen oil in Rock Doves (Columba livia)
		The plumage of waterfowl deprived of uropygial oil becomes brittle and is subject to breakage.
		We tested one possible function of preen oil-that it has insecticidal properties and that reduction in plumage condition on birds without glands is due to an increase in ectoparasites.
		The purpose of the current study was to test the importance of preen oil in Rock Doves by removing the uropygial gland and quantifying plumage condition over a period of several months.

		Even light hydrocarbon fingerprints are available on many source rocks enabling correlation to condensates (Figure 4) or produced oils to evaluate whether oils are fractionated or derived from different sources.
		Hopane (191 m/z) ion chromatogram, used in correlation of rocks to oils or seeps.
		For example, a comparison of Madison Group oils to Bakken Formation oils in the Williston Basin, USA clearly shows that the Madison oils are not derived from Bakken Formation source rocks (Jarvie et al., 1995) (Figure 5).

	DOE - Fossil Energy Techline: DOE Selects Nine Projects to Improve Knowledge of Reservoir "Architecture"
		Understanding the "architecture" of an oil reservoir the way rock deposits are layered, how oil and water are distributed in the rock pores, the paths fractures take through reservoirs can play a key role in determining the most effective ways to produce crude oil from the Nation's oil fields.
		Geologic, geophysical and engineering data on variations and discontinuities in sedimentary rock layers as well as the interaction of rocks and fluids during fluid flow through the reservoir are examples of some of these conditions.
		A catalogue of unique rock characteristics and properties will be created with basic reservoir geologic and engineering data, subsurface mapping and rock unit correlation to evaluate the continuity of the reservoir's rock layers.

	The Drake Well - the first oil well...in Pennsylvania?
		They hoped that "rock oil" could be recovered from the ground in large enough quantities to be used commercially as a fuel for lamps.
		Oil had already been used and refined and sold commercially for one of its byproducts: kerosene.
		What made Bissell something of a visionary was that he would try to extract the rock oil from the ground by drilling, using the same techniques as had been used in salt wells.

	SMU - Cox : Where do We Find Oil and Gas?
		The permeability of the rocks allowed oil and gas to move through the rocks until they reached a layer of rock that had low permeability.
		A trap consists of a layer of rock that oil and gas cannot penetrate (impermeable) above a porous, permeable layer that holds the oil and gas.
		A fault trap is formed by a shift or movement of rock layers that caused an impermeable layer to create a barrier next to a layer of porous rocks containing hydrocarbons.

	About O i l and P e t r o l e u m
		Unprocessed petroleum is usually called crude oil, although it has been called mineral oil and Seneca oil, named for the Seneca Indians of Western Pennsylvania.
		Crude oil usually consists of a mixture of hydrocarbons having varying molecular weights and differing from one another in structure and properties.
		Oil fuel, in all of its usable forms, is a refined product, unlike coal and natural gas which can often be burned in their natural condition.

	Metal Basinal Brines and Petroleum-Metal Partitioning Between Rock, Oil, Water, and Gas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		If metals are concentrated in the water phase, that fluid is a probable source of metals that could be deposited elsewhere in the oil generating basin after the oil and water are expelled from the source rock and possibly separated during secondary migration of the oil.
		The expelled oil could, itself, be an ore fluid that concentrates its metals when, as commonly happens, it is oxidized and washed rather than collected in an oil trap or when it is further heated and converted to volatiles.
		If these early experiments produce the expected result of demonstrating metal migration out of the source rocks, additional experiments will be designed in which we will begin the tedious task of isolating and controlling variables in order to understand the mechanisms responsible for the metal movement.
