Document Summary
1: as the oil and natural gas moves through porous rocks if it meets an impermeable layer then it is stack and the maturation process continues, crude oil and gas live within porous rocks c. If catalytic cracking of the oil is performed, it is important to remove these metals as they poison the catalyst: vanadium can be recovered from the ash or flue gas when high vanadium containing oils are combusted. It can then be sold to the metals industry for use in steel generations: biomarkers are also useful for identifying where the crude oil is from. 2: source rock indicates where the oil was when the transformation occurred, structural trap i. 3: once drilling commences, drilling fluid, or mud, is continuously circulated down the drill pipe and back to the surface equipment. Footprint on land of the production operations: the technology now enables access to a reservoir up to several kilometers from the drill rig.
