Abstract
The basic principles and laws governing the migration of natural gases and their seepage to Earth’s surface are provided in this chapter by examining the geological factors or processes that influence physical parameters within transport equations. To offer a simple reference framework of seepage processes to readers without specialised knowledge of gas dynamics, migration mechanisms, diffusion and advection in their various forms are summarised without complex mathematics and using carefully controlled terminology. Oil migration is not the focus of this chapter.
