The three main stages of evolution of organic matter in sediments are Catagenesis (C), Diagenesis (D) and Metagenesis (M). Their chronological order is
A stable geothermal gradient (approx. 25°C/km) in the earth’s crust will suddenly increase to a higher gradient value, when
Match the petroleum reservoir forming traps (GROUP I) with their general classifications (GROUP II).
| GROUP I | GROUP II |
|---|---|
| (P) Dome and Anticlinal Trap | (I) A geological structure with bodies of porous lithofacies embedded in impermeable lithofacies. |
| (Q) Salt Dome | (II) A geological structure formed by the tectonic uplift and/or folding of sedimentary rocks. |
| (R) Fault Trap | (III) A geological structure caused by the upward intrusion of a diapiric body of halite. |
| (S) Lenticular Trap | (IV) A geological plane with a sealing effect that acts as a fluid migration barrier for reservoir rocks. |
An exploratory well is planned to be drilled in a basin that extends up to a depth of 5000 m. The surface temperature is 30°C. The geothermal gradient of the basin is 0.025°C/m. Select the possible range(s) of depth at which the potential oil bearing zones can be encountered.
