Abstract
ABSTRACT The Kreyenhagen shale of Coalinga and the older Moreno shale contain many sandstone dikes. An Eocene sandstone lies between these two formations, and oil accumulating in this sandstone from the shale beneath could be transferred to the Miocene sandstone above through sandstone dike conduits in the Kreyenhagen shale.
