both of which are not satisfactory regarding oil formation, plant decay, etc. all the elements needed to make oil.
The Ivans are up there because they know oil IS NOT a fossil fuel but an abiotic resource that is produced in the core of the Earth....they were the first to realize that little if any drilled oil has any organic compounds in it anymore. If you consider a ball fired from a musket at Gettysburg is found a couple inches below the ground, tell me how long plant life would take to get to the 6-7,000 feet most oil is found at today? It never worked that way and the oilmen know it.
Dr. Jon Clarke: .
The fact remains that the abiotic theory of petroleum genesis has zero credibility for economically interesting accumulations. 99.9999% of the world's liquid hydrocarbons are produced by maturation of organic matter derived from organisms. To deny this means you have to come up with good explanations for the following observations.
more......homework and exercises - Abiotic oil vs the traditional theory of oil deposit formation - Physics Stack Exchange
- The almost universal association of petroleum with sedimentary rocks.
- The close link between petroleum reservoirs and source rocks as shown by biomarkers (the source rocks contain the same organic markers as the petroleum, essentially chemically fingerprinting the two).
- The consistent variation of biomarkers in petroleum in accordance with the history of life on earth (biomarkers indicative of land plants are found only in Devonian and younger rocks, that formed by marine plankton only in Neoproterozoic and younger rocks, the oldest oils containing only biomarkers of bacteria).
- The close link between the biomarkers in source rock and depositional environment (source rocks containing biomarkers of land plants are found only in terrestrial and shallow marine sediments, those indicating marine conditions only in marine sediments, those from hypersaline lakes containing only bacterial biomarkers).
- Progressive destruction of oil when heated to over 100 degrees (precluding formation and/or migration at high temperatures as implied by the abiogenic postulate).
- The generation of petroleum from kerogen on heating in the laboratory (complete with biomarkers), as suggested by the biogenic theory. The strong enrichment in C12 of petroleum indicative of biological fractionation (no inorganic process can cause anything like the fractionation of light carbon that is seen in petroleum).
HORSESHIT! Another "peak oil" bowl of lies.....Hey, BIG OIL is fine with you thinking there is a finite amount of oil in the world and you must pay a premium for them to get it for you. But the cold hard facts are that if oil WAS organic, it would have been gone almost as fast as we had a use for it.
