During the period of primary migration or during the subsequent period of retention in the reservoir rock, the change to petroleum occurs. This is followed by a period of collection into a continuous phase, in turn followed by a period of secondary migration, again under the influence of water, through a carrier bed or reservoir rock to a place where further movement is impossible (a trap) and where the petroleum collects into pools or fields. 2, record 1, English, - secondary%20migration
