Abstract
The manifest presence of oil-bearing and gas-bearing anticlines, and of synclines, in sedimentary basins strongly suggests that an investigation be undertaken of the effect of hydrodynamic flow on the amount, shape, and positioning of buoyant hydrocarbon accumulations as the global geometric shape of the aquifer is distorted. In this chapter we isolate the geometric bending of an aquifer, keeping aquifer width and permeability fixed.
