This is certainly evidence that oil is being produced at depths in the earth (where there are no fossil remains) and being pushed upward by intense pressure from below. The best example of this is Green Island in the Gulf of Mexico. When all the oil that could profitably be extracted had been pumped out, the wells there were closed and forgotten about. Then, twenty years later, those wells were found to contain more oil than before any had been removed! If petroleum is constantly produced by an inorganic process, we are never going to run out of oil. Yawn, old pumping and measuring technology Vs new pumping and measuring technology. No, but James may have quoted, or written some wrong assumptions, it is difficult to tell with him, his newsreader doesn't properly attribute quoted material, and he doesn't do it either. For the record I am not claiming that oil is abiotic in nature. Unlike warmers, who will swear that co2 is the bane of civilisation and defend that position till hell freezes over regardless of evidence to the contrary, I am merely saying that the idea of abiotic oil should be considered. It makes no sense to summarily dismiss it because one likes the biotic theory better. The idea of abiotic oil crushes the environmental claim of the world running out of oil soon and one would expect denial from them. However, if it exists at all or if it co-exists, it is worth exploring. The Russians went with the idea in the early 50s and have been quite successful. I would say it probably co-exists, but the quantity is the question, if there is geologic CO2, why not CH4 or other chains. But I see no reason for oil to move upward except in the presence of water, and I don't know how deep water is found. Pressure Pressure from what? Gas is lighter then oil so any unassociated gas is always located above the oil zone.. Bruce-in-Bangkok (correct Address is bpaige125atgmaildotcom) |
