		Petroleum geology is a term used to refer to the specific set of geological disciplines that are applied to the search for hydrocarbons.
		These wells present only a 1-dimensional segment through the Earth and the skill of inferring 3-dimensional characteristics from them is one of the most fundamental in petroleum geology.
		Several major subdisciplines exist in petroleum geology specifically to study the seven key elements discussed above.

	Petroleum
		Crude petroleum (oil) is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon-based liquid which is sometimes present in porous rocks beneath the earth's surface.
		Petroleum is usually classified according to the predominance of paraffin or asphaltic compounds and, accordingly, is said to have a paraffin base, an intermediate base, or an asphalt base.
		Petroleum is used principally as a source of fuel and lubricating oils.

	Amazon.com: Books: Petroleum Geoscience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Petroleum Geoscience has a global and "geotemporal" backdrop, drawing examples and case histories from around the world and from petroleum systems ranging in age from late Precambrian to Pliocene.
		In order to show how geoscience is integrated at all levels within the industry, the authors stress throughout the links between geology and geophysics on the one hand, and drilling, reservoir engineering, petrophysics, petroleum engineering, facilities design, and health, safety, and the environment on the other.
		The aim of this book is to introduce petroleum geoscience to geologists, be they senior undergraduates or postgraduates, and to nongeologists (petrophysicists, reservoir engineers, petroleum engineers, drilling engineers, and environmental scientists) working in the petroleum industry.

	Petroleum Geology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The petroleum industry produces oil and gas from special layers of rocks called reservoirs.
		Petroleum comes from the Latin word for rock, petra, and the old Greek word for oil, oleum- petroleum literally means ?rock oil.?
		Petroleum is a good name for crude oil because it really does come from rock.

		Such deep-water limestone turbidites form oil and gas reservoirs in several major petroleum provinces worldwide, including Abu Dhabi and Oman in the Middle East, the UK North Sea and the Philippines.
		The timing factor is favourable, since both the reefal and turbidite traps formed in the Late Miocene to Pliocene and could have been subsequently charged by oil and gas from the late Miocene to present (Figures 11 and 12).
