Title: A Brief Outline of Some Oil-Accumulation Problems

Author(s): Alex W. McCoy

Abstract:

Problems of oil accumulation are divided, by this paper, into three main groups: first, origin of the material; second, transfer of oil from the source beds to the reservoir rock; third, the migration of petroleum in reservoir rocks. The paper discusses various possibilities under each of the foregoing headings. It points out the evidence which favors certain conclusions as well as the lack of evidence for some hypothetical assumptions. There are so many indefinite factors to these problems that no conclusions are presented.
