Part of Geology, one of the fundamental areas of Field Study & Modelling and one of the Subsurface E&P Disciplines, related to the locations of the subsurface extractable hydrocarbon deposits with the major concern on the following seven elements in sedimentary basins:
| Source Rock | Basin Analysis | Seal | Trap | Timing | Maturation | Fluid migration | Petroleum reservoir |
As part of Geology the Petroleum Geology develops its analysis over the study of Depositional facies and Lithological facies.
One of the key objectives of Petroleum Geology is to picking formation tops.
