Why are oil and gas often found together?

Answer 1

Oil and Gas are found together because they were formed hundreds of years ago when Canada was covered by shallow seas. Over millions of years remains of marine animals and plants fell to the ocean floor and built up in thick layers which were eventually covered by layers of sand and silt. These layers compressed into sedimentary rock and heat and pressure converterted it into oil and gas. it can be found under a non-porous rock layer in a porous rock layer.

Answer 2

Oil and gas are often found together because they form from the same organic material, such as plankton and algae, that become trapped and buried in the Earth's crust. As they undergo heat and pressure over time, the organic material transforms into hydrocarbons, which can be in the form of either oil or gas depending on factors like temperature and pressure. This is why oil and gas reservoirs are frequently found in close proximity to each other.

Answer 3

They are both byproducts of decomposition of the original organic material.
