  1. Petroleum System

  2. Sedimentary Basin Sedimentary Basin studies investigate the geohistory of a particular basin, including its tectonic history and associated structural styles, the depositional history and resulting stratigraphic section, the burial history of the sediments, and thermal history of the strata (modified from Magoon and Dow, 1994). Definition after Magoon and Dow (1994): Sedimentary Basin is a depression filled with sedimentary rocks.

  3. Petroleum System Petroleum System studies characterize and model the genetic relationship between an active source rock and the resulting oil and gas accumulation (modified from Magoon and Dow, 1994).

  4. Petroleum Play Petroleum Play analysis describes the present-day geologic similarity that characterizes a play such as a a particular petroleum trap or reservoir (modified from Magoon and Dow, 1994).

  5. Prospect Prospect evaluations detail the individual petroleum trap or reservoir, including economic aspects and technology considerations (modified from Magoon and Dow, 1994).

  6. Elements of Petroleum System (Magoon and Dow (1994) Geographic Extent: Includes the Active Source Rock and Petroleum Shows, Seeps, and Discoveries Encompassed in a Defined Area at a Certain Time (Critical Moment). Illustrated with Plan Map. Stratigraphic Extent and Components: Underburden, Source, Reservoir, Seal, and Overburden Rocks. Illustrated with Geologic Cross Section. Temporal Events: Sediment Deposition (Source, Reservoir, Seal, and Overburden Rocks), Trap Formation, Oil and Gas Generation, Expulsion, Migration, Accumulation, and Preservation, and Critical Moment. Shown with Events Chart.

  7. Critical Moment Critical Moment is the point in time that best depicts the generation-expulsion-migration-accumulation of most hydrocarbons in a given petroleum system (modified from Magoon and Dow, 1994).

  8. Upper Jurassic Petroleum Systems of the World (Klemme, 1994) Fourteen petroleum systems, as recognized, contain one fourth of the world’s discovered oil and gas. Oxfordian Smackover Formation of the Gulf of Mexico Ranks Fourth as to the Estimated Hydrocarbons Available in the Classification of UJ Petroleum Systems.

  9. Upper Jurassic Smackover Petroleum System (Claypool and Mancini, 1989) Source of Much of Discovered Oil and Gas in Gulf of Mexico. Source for Smackover Reservoirs. Source for Other Upper Jurassic Reservoirs. Source for Some Lower and Upper Cretaceous Reservoirs. Potential Source for Some Paleogene Reservoirs.
