Oil hides in subtle layers. In this classic petroleum geology monograph, Richard Ellis Sherrill unpacks the complex behaviour of stratigraphic traps in the Venango sands of northwestern Pennsylvania, illuminating how porosity, permeability and facies changes govern the occurrence of oil away from simple structural highs. Focusing on the historic Pennsylvania oil region within the broader Appalachian Basin petroleum geology framework, this stratigraphic oil pools study offers a rigorous geological technical report that connects field observation with practical exploration insight.Sherrill’s systematic reservoir characterisation of oil pools in sandstone provides sandstone reservoir case studies that remain a valuable reference for petroleum engineers and a professional reference for geologists concerned with stratigraphic traps in sandstone and stratigraphic trap exploration methods worldwide. Beyond its technical precision, the work captures an important stage in the understanding of the northwestern Pennsylvania oil fields, preserving the mindset, methods and language of an earlier generation of subsurface explorers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure, this new edition serves both as a working resource for practitioners and students and as a historically significant volume for classic-science collectors and anyone interested in the evolution of energy geoscience.
