Petroleum is less dense than water and therefore rises above trapped water beneath the cap rock due to buoyancy forces. Additionally, petroleum migrates through pore spaces in the rock layers until it encounters an impermeable barrier, like the cap rock, where it accumulates. This process is driven by differences in fluid density and pressure gradients within the subsurface reservoir.
What else can I help you with?
Is there water beneath the crust of earth?
Not liquid water. However some water is trapped in solution in the rocks of earth's mantle.
Is the water table below the layer of impermeable rock?
If the layer of impermeable rock is below the water table, then the water table is likely above the impermeable rock and the groundwater will be trapped above it. If the impermeable rock is above the water table, then the water table is likely below the impermeable rock layer and the groundwater will not be able to pass through it.
What is the process by which heat is trapped beneath the thick clouds of a planet?
the process is called global warming or green house effect where heat is trapped under greenhouse gasses and not allowed to escape into space thus increasing the global heat of the planet this effect can be seen in superlative terms in oue solar system in VENUS
What is trapped between layers of rock in an aquifer?
Water is typically trapped between layers of rock in an aquifer. This water can be stored underground and can be accessed through wells for various uses such as drinking water or irrigation.
What is Trapped by photosynthesis and is released through respiration?
water
Is there water beneath the crust of earth?
Not liquid water. However some water is trapped in solution in the rocks of earth's mantle.
Where do waterfowls migrate to?
They migrate South because their food source becomes trapped beneath frozen water in the North.
What is a tropical tree with roots that extend both above and beneath the water?
Mangrove
What happens to the temperature of the water in the zone beneath the thermocline?
The temperature in the zone beneath the thermocline remains relatively stable as it experiences minimal mixing with the warmer water above and the cooler water below. This results in a sharp temperature gradient between the layers above and below the thermocline.
How is water trapped in stratosphere?
Water vapor can be transported into the stratosphere through processes like deep convection or during the formation of high-altitude clouds. Once in the stratosphere, it can be trapped due to temperature inversions that prevent vertical mixing, leading to its accumulation in that layer of the atmosphere.
What is a part of a yacht that is under water?
"all boats" have a draft, the part beneath the water. The part above is the freeboard. The part in the water is the Hull.
Why Lincoln navigator leaking water above transmission?
it could be a leak coming from the chamber behind the water pump just beneath the exhaust manifold. too much labor
Is the water table below the layer of impermeable rock?
If the layer of impermeable rock is below the water table, then the water table is likely above the impermeable rock and the groundwater will be trapped above it. If the impermeable rock is above the water table, then the water table is likely below the impermeable rock layer and the groundwater will not be able to pass through it.
How far do icebergs go down under water?
Remembering that only about a tenth of any iceberg is above the water, Titanic's berg was about 96 feet above sea level.
How is water trapped beneath the statosphere?
stratospheric circulation is the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in the tropical latitudes, which is driven by gravity waves that are convectively generated in the troposphere. The QBO induces a secondary circulation that is important for the global stratospheric transport of tracers, such as ozone or water vapor.

What is entrained water?
it is the water trapped or/and suspended in hydraulic fluid .
