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.
