Title: Marine Sedimentation and Oil Accumulation. II. Regressive Marine Offlap and Overlap-Offlap

Author(s): Doris S. Malkin (2), Dorothy Jung Echols (3)

Abstract:

The marine regression, its resultant stratigraphic marine "offlap" and the compound features "overlap-offlap," "offlap-overlap" that result from the alternation of transgression and regression are discussed.

Although sands deposited in a regressive sea are not considered as favorable, theoretically, as the overlying transgressive sands for the trapping of petroleum, local structural and environmental conditions may effect excellent reservoirs.
