Q

what is the latak of petroleum

24
Q

petroleum forms at normal temp condition as:

A
  1. liquid - crude oil
  2. gas - natural gas
  3. solid - tar and bitumen
25
crude oil with little sulfur content
sweet crude oil
26
crude oil with high sulfur content
sour crude oil
27
HC wered derived from the geochemical conversion of organic matter and material in time through the agents of temp and pressure
organic theory
28
organic theory
stage 1 - fossilization stage 2 - diagenesis stage 3 - migration stage 4 - entrapment and extraction
29
a concept that encompasses all of the disparate elements and processes of petroleum geology
petroleum system
30
- sed rock containing OM. which under heat, time, and pressure was transformed to liquid or gaseous HC - a rock capable of generating oil and gas
source rocks
31
movement of generated HC from the source rock to the reservoir rock in a trap through conduits
migration
32
any rock that has sufficient porosity and permeability to permit the storage and accumulation of crude oil or natural gas under adequate trap conditions, and to yield the HC at satisfactory flow rate upon production
reservoir rocks
33
an impervioius or impermeable bed capping the reservoir rocks in atrap
cap rock or seal
34
any barrier to upward movement of oil and gas, allowing either both to accumulate
trap
35
relationship between the time of trap formation and time of HC generation and migration
Timing
36
elements of petroleum system
``` source rock reservoir rock migration trap seal/cap rock timing ```
37
oil and gas come from OM through transformation processes involving _____ and __________
heat and geologic time
38
refers to materials composed of organic molecules in monomeric or polymeric form derived directly or indirectly from organic parts of organism
organic matter
39
true or false: mineral skelatal parts (shells, bones, and teeth) are not included in OM
true
40
- the basic process that accomplishes the mas production of OM on earth - it converts light energy to chemical energy by the transfer of Hydrogen from water to carbon dioxide to produce OM in the form of glucose and oxygen
photosynthesis -about 2 billion yrs ago (pre cambrian) photosynthesis emerged as a world wide phenomenon laying the foundation for the evolution of higher forms of life
41
From pre-cambrian to devonion the primary producer of OM was __________
Marine phytoplankton
42
Devonian onwards, increasing amount of primary production of OM from ______________
Terrestrial sources
43
At present the production of OM was both ______
Equal from terrestrial and Marine phytoplankton
44
4 most imortant contributor of OM in seds
1. Phytoplankton 2. Zooplanktons 3. Higher plants 4. Bacteria
45
Contribution from higher organized animals such as fishes is neglible. Why?
Mabagal mag preserve and kinakain agad sila ng scavengers
46
Production of OM is controlled by ______, ________, and __________ of sea water
Light Temperature Chemical composition
47
Large part of biological production is concentrated in the __________ of the water column
Upper 60 to 80 meters
48
Productivity of coastal waters are ____ of the open seas
2X
49
Saan may pinakamadamin input ng mga OM
Estuaries - because of the quiet environment, and the planktons are directly buried after death
50
Factors you need for the accumulation and preservation of OM
- balanced between energy level and sedimentation | - fine-grained sediments
51
Through time and elevated temperature, the OM is transformed to ________ and ________
Kerogen and bitumen
52
Organic material in sed rocks is insoluble in ordaniary organic solvents - the most important part to the petroleum geologist
Kerogen
53
- The organic material in sed rocks which is soluble in ordinary organic solvents - it is the product of partial conversion of kerogen as a result of rising temp and passing time
Bitumen
54
Types of Kerogen
Type I - alganite - oil Type II - liptinite - oil and gas Type III - vitrinite - gas Type IV - inentinite - gas in later stage of maturity
55
Derived largely from algal material or from OM enriched in LIPIDS due to microbial alteration
Type I - alganite
56
Contains less waxy or cuticle material, derived from bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and minor ammounts of sores and pollens.
Type II - liptinite | -generated a large volume of the world’s oil and gas deposit
