Abstract
migration
and entrapment of
crude oil. Specifically, oil originating from depth migrates
vertically up faults and is emplaced in traps at shallower
depths. Review of petroleum-producing basins worldwide shows oil
occurrence in these basins conforms to the restraints of this
hypothesis. Most of the world's oil is found in the very deepest
sedimentary basins, and production over or adjacent to the deep
basin is cut by, or directly updip from, faults dipping into the
basin deep. Generally, the greater the fault throw, the greater
the reserves.
