Question

in oil wells, petroleum is found above water, what 2 properties does this prove of petroleum

Answer 1

Answer:

Three conditions must be present for oil reservoirs to form:

Explanation:

a source rock rich in hydrocarbon material buried deeply enough for subterranean heat to cook it into oil,

a porous and permeable reservoir rock where it can accumulate,

a caprock (seal) or other mechanism to prevent the oil from escaping to the surface. Within these reservoirs, fluids will typically organize themselves like a three-layer cake with a layer of water below the oil layer and a layer of gas above it, although the different layers vary in size between reservoirs.
