The secondary migration in a carrier bed commences, when the buoyancy of oil & gas remains sufficient enough that overcomes the entry pressure; and it remains a function of tilt and the height of the resulting oil column.
If so, will it be feasible to deduce the ‘critical oil column’ that is required in order to initiate the secondary migration?
Can this value fall below 5 inches and ascend above 5 feet in any basin?
