2.1.1. seepages

2.1.1.1. All petroleum traps can leak and consequently petroleum is able to seep toward the Earth’s surface.

2.1.1.2. seepage process

2.1.1.2.1. seal failure

2.1.1.2.2. tertiary migration

2.1.1.2.3. dissipation

2.1.2. outcrop

2.1.2.1. Direct study and observation of rock formation

2.1.2.2. Studying outcrops of rocks formation can be used as predictive tool to model:

2.1.2.2.1. porosity

2.1.2.2.2. permeability

2.1.2.2.3. reservoir framework

2.1.2.2.4. fracture

2.1.2.3. Outcrops are mainly observed in:

2.1.2.3.1. road cuts

2.1.2.3.2. quarry

2.1.2.3.3. mines

2.2. geological

2.2.1. Photogeology

2.2.2. Surface Mapping
