Buried Treasure
Changes in the amount of oil in a Gulf
of Mexico reservoir led researchers to examine Eugene Island Block
330. They've assembled evidence suggesting that old oil stored below
the sea floor is constantly recharging the young reservoir.
The Environmental

use foraminifera and microfossils to find petroleum. But a growing
number of researchers are using them to understand past and present environmental
changes.
