Petroleum Geology
Petroleum Geology delves into how hydrocarbons are generated, migrate through rock layers, get trapped and accumulate in reservoirs. From the origin of organic matter in source rocks, to the pathways that lead oil and gas into a seal, every step reveals part of Earth’s energy story. In this category, we’ll break down those key elements — source rock, migration, reservoir, trap and seal — in plain, practical language so engineers, geologists and curious minds alike can follow the journey from buried organic matter to extractable resources.
