A number of stable configurations which can be formed from mixtures of oil and gas trapped in water under a solid surface is examined. In particular, the problem of a lens of oil lying within a sessile bubble of gas is solved, and two forms of stable solution are found; a discrete lens of oil lying in the bottom of the gas bubble and a double sessile drop formation with the oil completely enclosing the gas. A comparison of the energies of the formation indicates the ranges of oil properties where each configuration is likely to be found. The results are applied to the specific case of crude oils trapped under ice and an appropriate existence diagram constructed.
