Mechanism of transverse petroleum migration
The transverse, "vertical," migration of petroleum is investigated to determine a mechanism which explains the occurrence of barren (water-filled) reservoirs interspersed between hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs within the same oil or gas field, especially when the intervening shales are not …

The Petroleum Disruption Response System
The petroleum disruptions experienced in 1973 and 1979 demonstrated to the Department of Defense (DoD) that, for numerous reasons, the normal support for DoD requirements could rapidly deteriorate. Crude oil shortages caused DoD's historical supplier to prorate or completely cease deliveries under …

Numerical simulation of primary petroleum migration
… is presented for the generation and movement of petroleum in a single layer of source rock, a process also know as primary migration. The equations governing the system are derived from principles of mass and volume conservation and are then non-dimensionalized. The result of this formulation of …
