New evidence supports premise that Earth produces endless supply

quote:
A study published in Science Magazine today presents new evidence supporting the abiotic theory for the origin of oil, which asserts oil is a natural product the Earth generates constantly rather than a "fossil fuel" derived from decaying ancient forests and dead dinosaurs.

And what if our oil is neither "fossil" nor "abiotic' in origen, but is a product of plankton, algae, and other bio-mass sunk to the bottom of the ocean, and transformed under pressure? Then, increased atmospheric and oceanic CO2 would be a good thing!

I am in the business. There is scant actual evidence of what you speak. It is very possible and the processes that we think creates a situation where oil/natural gas is generated, are still with us. I would not go so far as to say we have an endless supply, but that is because we (humans) are consuming about 75 million barrels per day. I am not sure the earth is generating that much at that rate.

One area that most people are unaware of, are the presence of deep ocean methane hydrates. In other words, methane gas (which is what you burn at your home) is present in the deeper portions of the ocean at the sea floor. It can be mined, but no one has figured out how to do it economically yet.

Since I studied this (long time ago!)no-one has ever tried to tell me that oil comes from dinosaurs and forests! It has always been marine organisms, plankton etc. Some gas may stem from carbonaceous (plant) material, eg coal seam gas. There are theories for different oil generation mechanisms, some stemming from, I believe, the Russian deep drilling programs.
Yes, methane hydrates are a source of energy, but approach with caution. You are right dogcat, economically, safely and environmentally sound.

oil is a biproduct of boiling magma.
it is neither fossil nor nonrenewable.

The USA has trillions of barrels of oil but the AR politicians have stopped or banned drilling of oil and no new refineries have been built in decades.

Trillions? That's a tad on the high side of a estimate, I suspect.

And how in the world do you get oil from boiling magma?
