Inspissated deposit : was probably once a pool in liquid
and gaseous form, and now consist of only the more resistant and
heavier residues, the lighter fractions having been lost.
- Therefore, it may be thought of as a fossil oil field. As
erosion gradually removes the overburden and brings the surface
closer to the petroleum pool, the pressure on the fluids in the rocks
is reduced.
- The lowering of pressure causes the gases and lighter oil
fractions to come out of solution and expand, leaving the heavier
hydrocarbon fractions to come out of solution and expand, leaving
the heavier hydrocarbon fractions behind.
- As the zone of weathering approaches the pool, the opening
of incipient fractures allows the gases to escape more readily.
- Oxidizing agencies probably aid in solidifying the heavier oils
that remain behind.
- Such a deposit, typical of many in California and Utah,

What is the importance of structural geology in petroleum industry?
Structural geology is crucial in the petroleum industry because it helps locate areas where oil and gas reservoirs may be trapped or accumulated. Understanding the deformation and movements of rock layers helps geologists identify potential reservoirs, faults, and traps for hydrocarbons. This information is essential for successful exploration and production of oil and gas resources.
What search for petroleum deposit focused on locating and drilling the crest of what structures?
Anticlines. An anticline is an upward fold in rock layers where the oldest rock is in the center and the youngest rock is at the edges. It is common for petroleum deposits to accumulate at the crest of anticlines due to the trapping of hydrocarbons in the folded structure. Drilling at the crest of anticlines is a common strategy in petroleum exploration to target potential reservoirs.
What is the average salary for a petroleum geologist?
It depends upon who employs you and where you work. I'm still six months from getting my master's degree in geology. However, I have just accepted an offer for $108,000 after the sign-on bonus. This is the gold standard for measuring the salary of a Petroleum Geologist: (Aug 10, 2010) . See the Related Link below.
