RE: RE: RE: Vast is a sleeping giant ......How They Find The Oil
"
Written by Daniel Da Cruz
In the first rush for oil, explorers searched out surface seeps of crude oil, set up their primitive cable tool rigs, and started drilling, on the reasonable assumption that there must be more where that came from. The results were entirely satisfactory—until the seeps were exhausted. But already a sharp-eyed Canadian named T. Sterry Hunt had been observing the topographical distribution of oil seeps, and had devised a theory to account for them. He noted that many seeps originated on elongated dome-shaped structures and reasoned that if structures were repeated in the rock layers below, like a nest of inverted mixing bowls, then petroleum rising from the depths toward the surface would be trapped under or between these layers. Hunt termed this type of structure an "anticline." There remained this question: where had the seeps come from, if the oil was trapped in the anticline. Simple. It has oozed up through minute cracks in the rock.
It has worked just as well for the Arabian American Oil Company (Aramco) in comparatively recent times as it did a century ago, when Hunt first propounded it. Saudi Arabia's huge Ghawar field, about the size and shape of Long Island, with oil-bearing strata some 250 feet thick, is a classic example of an oil field that was found on an anticline.

See page 19 ( if this does not wake people up to what Vast has at qara dagh ... I don't know what will ! )
Qara dagh has also been mentioned as a mini-kirkuk as it has similarities to the giant 16 billion oil find there.
