question 14

Multiple Choice

If a sedimentary basin is tectonically subsiding,how would the depth of the oil window be affected,and why?

• A) The depth of the oil window would decrease because hot fluids produced from diagenesis of basin sediments would increase hydrocarbon temperatures.
• B) The depth of the oil window would increase because fluids produced from diagenesis of basin sediments would prevent or buffer any rise of hydrocarbon temperatures.
• C) The depth of the oil window would decrease because the basin bottom would be closer to the mantle and heat of Earth's outer core.
• D) The depth of the oil window would increase because the geothermal gradient in the subsiding basin would lead to cooler rocks being found at greater depths.
