The formation of oil begins in warm, shallow oceans that were present on the earth millions of years ago At higher temperatures, it is mainly gas that is generated Discover the science behind the formation of crude oil and petroleum

Oil is formed from ancient organisms over millions of years.
Learn how oil fields are formed, classified, and engineered for extraction, detailing the entire complex resource recovery process.
Oil, the lifeblood of modern society, isn’t formed overnight The story of oil begins in the oceans and lakes of our planet, long before dinosaurs roamed the earth. Oil and gas fields are geological features that result from the coincident occurrence of four types of geologic features (figure 1) (1) oil and gas source rocks, (2) reservoir rocks, (3) seals, and (4) traps
Each of these features is discussed and illustrated below and the role of each type of feature in our Learn how oil and gas form beneath the earth, and why porosity, permeability, and structural traps determine where hydrocarbons accumulate. Deep in the earth, oil and natural gas are formed from organic matter from dead plants and animals These hydrocarbons take millions of years to form under very specific pressure and temperature conditions.
Relatively lower temperatures and pressures form oil, while higher temperatures and pressures form natural gas, however, a spectrum of hydrocarbons can be formed, including ethane, propane, butane, and other natural gas liquids.
