When we have earthquakes and folding in the world's fault areas over
millions of years we know that oil, and gas and water is trapped within the folded rock formations. Earthquakes help move oil within formations and oil migrates to different areas within the surrounding formations, gas is on top, oil is in the middle and water (heaviest) settles to the lowest folded rocks mostly sandstone's.

The most comprehensive study available on this large sedimentary basin – the least explored of New Zealand’s near-shore oil and gas areas.

Trapping Oil

Rocks that are folded when mountain chains are formed can trap oil or gas.

What clues do rocks contain? Oil prospecting regions

We can use plate tectonics to explain how oil-and gas-fields were formed and to predict the best places on Earth to look for new ones.

Bakersfield, CA - An abandoned Bakersfield, California (Pru Fee lease) oil lease, brought back to life in 1995 by a joint government-industry experimental project,
has produced more than a million barrels of oil once thought unrecoverable.
