Popis:	Oil and gas pools in shallow basins or on the shallow, stable shelves of deeper sedimentary basins appear to be exceptions to the model of a hot-deep origin of petroleum. However, the oil in shallow basins is directly associated with faulting extending out of the deepest parts of the basin. Evidence exists that some of these shallow basins have been much hotter in the past either from igneous activity or from a higher geothermal gradient. Uplift and erosion may also have removed substantial thicknesses of sediments in some of these basins.
