What is the origin of CRUDE OIL?

[dennis]

What is the source or origin of crude OIL? This is not a trick question. I think it is a question of profound importance. So much of our modern lives revolve around energy. What is the thermodynamic formula for the creation of crude oil?

Russian researchers concluded that hydrocarbon mixes would be created within the mantle. Experiments under high temperatures and pressures produced many hydrocarbons, including n-alkanes through C10H22, from iron oxide, calcium carbonate, and water.[11] Because such materials are in the mantle and in subducted crust, there is no requirement that all hydrocarbons be produced from primordial deposits.

abiotic oil theory vs fossil fuel theory

It's abiotic, but my public school "education" taught me these were fossil fuels. Just one of the lies that took me decades to sweep out of my mind.

Weren't we told (somewhere?) something like, "there's enough and more" .... for our needs on this earth and for it's temporal existence?

No way do I believe that dinosaur and vegetation remains are the sole source of crude oil.

when I first learned about abiogenic oil, I was sure that big oil [secret combinations] were keeping us in the dark so they could keep the price of gas high. But It now seems to me that black shale is biogenic and there seems to be a huge amount of potential new hydrocarbons available. So we need someone like DrJones who can discover the true chemical formula and then be courageous and stand up for abiogenic oil. Or will we continue to remain in the dark? I want to believe crude is generated deep down in the interior of the earth under extreme heat and pressure, which would give us an unlimited supply

several years ago I remember watching a video somewhere on the internet. it was an interview with a retired man who had spent something like 40 years in the oil industry. He explained how he had personally seen several empty and capped oil wells fully replenished years after being capped.

I searched a bit for it and couldn't find it, but I did find this quote which seems to say something similar.

“There is no such thing as ‘Peak Oil.’ Just last week, Abdallah S. Jum’ah, president and CEO of Aramco, the Saudi Arabian state-owned oil company, said, ‘The world has only consumed about 18 percent of its conventional potential.’ We’ve heard this ‘chicken little’ stuff for years and there is still plenty of oil.”
“God has designed the earth so that oil will replenish itself and our energy needs will be met. For example, the Eugene Island oil field off the coast of Louisiana is refilling itself. The earth will produce enough oil to power our economy until God shows us how to use the next energy source he has provided us with.”

The "Peak Oil" theory was postulated by an geoengineer from Shell Oil who had a definite interest in making oil a limited resource. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._King_Hubbert

The "Fossil Fuel" theory was created by the petroleum industry to create a PERCEIVED scarcity just as deBeers have done with the semi-precious gems called diamonds.

"This biogenic theory was first introduced by Georg Agricola in 1556 and later by Mikhail Lomonosov in the 18th century." This "theory" was set forth due to "bio-marker" observed in the oil when analyzed and the western oil companies and scholars accepted this as fact without questioning it due to the effort to create a scarcity thus being able to control the price of the resource.

Jerome Corsi has written a book call "Black Gold Stranglehold" which outlines the abiotic and biotic theories and Thomas Gold who is a PhD in Astrophysics authored a book called "The Deep Hot Biosphere" which details the abiotic position also.

"Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—" D&C 89:4

[Col. Flagg]

The only thing that makes sense is that oil is produced by chemical processes deep in the earth that are poorly understood. The notion that oil is from decomposed animals like dinosuars is beyond absurd... how in the world do you suppose that trillions of barrels of oil sit in reservoirs all over the earth miles underground, the result of which is from dead and decomposed animals... in many cases, miles under the ocean floor? Silly. Not only that, it is a known fact that when some reservoirs are depleted by man, they fill back up again with a short period of time. Sorry, but dead animals ain't doin' that. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

All this seems like nothing more than a silly distraction to me when zero point energy is a reality. We don’t need oil to supply our energy needs. We need a paradigm shift.
