A stage in the refining process which consists of breaking up the large molecules into smaller ones in order to produce lighter compounds. Processes involved include catalytic cracking and viscosity reduction (visbreaking).

Depths of up to 500 meters

Natural gas occurring in a normal porous and permeable reservoir rock, either in the gaseous phase or dissolved in crude oil, and which technically can be produced by normal production practices.

A conventional reservoir is one that can be produced at economic flow rates and that will produce economic volumes of oil or gas without large stimulation treatment or any special recovery process. A conventional reservoir is essential a high to medium permeability reservoir in which one can drill a vertical well, perforate the pay interval and then produce the well at commercial flow rates and recover economic volumes of oil or gas

A discrete accumulation related to a localized geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition, typically with each accumulation bounded by a down-dip contact with an aquifer, and which is significantly affected by hydrodynamic influences, such as the buoyancy of petroleum in water.
