The petroleum system: a new classification scheme based on reservoir qualities

Abstract A new classification of petroleum systems (PSs) based on reservoir qualities is proposed. We classify PSs into the following three basic types: (1) source-rock petroleum system (SPS); (2) tight-reservoir or tight petroleum system (TPS); and (3) conventional-reservoir or conventional petrole...
