[edit] Note About Need For "Source Rock" Article or "Source Rock Maturity" Information
I would like to request that this article's 'source rock' section be improved. It doesn't address the levels of maturity of source rock very much. I think the only other Wikipedia article that adresses 'source rock' and the 'maturity' of source rock is Maturity (geology). Maybe someone (with a greater interest in geology than me) who reads this can create a 'source rock' article, or modify the 'mature rock' article, or improve the 'source' (source rock) section of Petroleum geology. (I am just a translator for Geology of the Falkland Islands who had no idea what 'source rock' or 'mature rock' was nor how they should be expressed in English. I was also looking for a good article to link 'source rock' & 'mature rock' to, so that readers unfamiliar with the terms could easily learn about them.) (AnFu) AnFu 13:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Source rock article started, still needs plenty of work though. Mikenorton (talk) 09:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I think that a diagram better displaying the 2-d vertical geography of a typical oil reserve (and possible oil pump to obtain the oil) in the ground would be useful. I have been unable to find it within the associated petroleum pages. It is something I would associate with an elementary geology textbook.Jcook5 (talk) 15:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
