Lacustrine and associated nonmarine deposits represent a relatively minor suite of rocks in the sedimentary basins of the world. Most lakes leave only a scant record of their existence. However, locally lacustrine rocks are thick, widespread, and hydrocarbon bearing. The objectives are to analyze the facies associations and depositional history of a variety of prominent lacustrine and associated nonmarine sequences and discuss their role in the genesis and entrapment of hydrocarbons. Topics presented include (1) sedimentation processes, biota, and deposits of recent lakes, (2) facies associations of ancient lakes, (3) tectonic controls of lake systems, (4) organic-rich rocks in lacustrine deposits and associated oil types, (5) hydrocarbons in lacustrine rocks of the western US; and (6) hydrocarbons in lacustrine rocks of the world. Many of the facies concepts are derived from stratigraphic studies of the Uinta basin in Utah. 168 references.
