Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Chemical Relations of the Oil-Field Waters in San Joaquin Valley, California: Preliminary Report
During the rapid rise of the petroleum industry in the last 50 years the geologic occurrence of petroleum has received a great amount of study, and the interesting problems involved in its origin and migra tion have engaged the attention of many geologists. Fit has long been known that Oil and gas are commonly associated with water, and the great importance of the water as a physical agent in the migra tion of the Oil has been recognized in all geologic theories of the accumulation of oil. Of the chemical relations between the water and the Oil, however, we know little) and scientific literature con tains only a few references even to the chemical character Of the waters themselves. Apparently many of the current ideas on this subject either are erroneous or can be accepted only with important modifications.
