==Recharging of reservoirs==
Preserving these petroleum resources has been discussed in reference to biodegradation, which has produced much of the gas in the reservoirs—especially at the ''Trim A'' horizon. Burial of the reservoirs to depths with temperatures in excess of [[temperature::140°F]] ([[temperature::60°C]]) prevents further microbial degradation of the oil. Late episodes of fault movement facilitates recharging the reservoirs with higher maturity oil, migrating upward from the deeply buried active [[source rock]] that is not yet specifically identified (see .<ref name=ch04r1>Anderson, R., N., 1993, Recovering dynamic Gulf of Mexico reserves and the U., S. energy future: Oil & Gas Journal, 26 April 1993, p. 85–88, 90–92.</ref><ref name=ch04r2>Anderson, R., N., Flemings, P., Losh, S., Austin, J., Woodhams, R., 1994, Gulf of Mexico growth fault drilled, seen as oil, gas migration pathway: Oil & Gas Journal, 6 June 1994, p. 97–104.</ref>
