Major oil producing areas in the world are found in the so-called "geosynclinal depositional basins" in abroad sense and major oil fields are mostly located along the shelf, hingeline, and mobile rim parts of these depositional basins. Particular attention is paid to the important roles of the post-depositional environment of the geosynclinal basin in the genesis and the evolution of petroleum. It is indicated that lipids, proteins and pigments in living plants and animals may be regarded as the major possible sources for petroleum, and the evolution of petroleum gives rise to methane and graphite as the two end-members. On the basis of various geochemical data of Japanese petroleum source rocks, the authors have suggested that much of the source organic material for petroleum may have originated from terrestrial organisms, although deposition may be under marine conditions.
