Each petroleum system can be defined spatially by its geographic and stratigraphic extent.
Each petroleum system can be defined spatially by its geographic and stratigraphic extent.
The '''geographic extent''' of a petroleum system is determined at the critical moment. It is defined by a line that circumscribes the pod of active source rock and all oil and gas seeps, shows, and accumulations originating from that pod.
