Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three geological components necessary for a petroleum resource are source rock, reservoir rock, and cap rock. Source rock is where the petroleum is generated, reservoir rock is where it is stored, and cap rock is a layer that traps it in the reservoir. Refinery, structural trap, sediment, oil well, and pipeline are not necessary geological components for a petroleum resource. Plankton is a component in the formation of source rock, but alone it is not sufficient for petroleum formation.
