Petroleum and Structure in Green River Shales
The article argues that Green River shales contain original petroleum and outlines how oil could accumulate in various rock structures. It reviews how oil forms in sediment, migrates through porous sandstones, and pools in anticlines, domes, faults, and fissures, urging exploration beyond traditional anticline traps.
