How did Oil, er plants, get so very very deep?

[justoffal]

Right.

And apparently, there are more hydrocarbons on Titan than there are on Earth

That's interesting since it's almost dead certain that nothing ever grew there.

Additionally 40,000 ft horizontally would do what for who?.... Why would that number even mean anything if it's a horizontal drill?

Because you are more likely to find the oil fields than when drilling straight down. Think about it.

Simple hydrocarbons like methane and ethane are abundant. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and carbon is 3rd.

The issue here is getting complex and long chain hydrocarbons that persist over time.

Obviously then horizontal doesn't actually mean horizontal. There has to be some angle to the action...
Would it be more appropriate to say diagonal? Wasn't that what pissed off Saddam Hussein? The kuwaiti's were doing that I believe.

Yeah I guess that makes some sense....

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Would it be more appropriate to say diagonal?

Yeah, probably.

 

[justoffal]

Yeah, probably.

Wow..... I'm certainly not an expert in drilling technology.
But apparently I knew less than I thought I did. I am amazed that they can actually make a right angle turn at the end of all that linkage.

The young earth theorists would love this thread.

 

[Woodznutz]

please google "continental drift" or "subduction zone"

or are the geologists all conspiring to make the earth look older than genesis ?

Genesis means beginning. There was only one beginning, after that there were periods of ruin followed by periods of restoration. Genesis 1:2 begins the last restoration period.

"the beginning is genesis chapter 1. the big bang.

"LET THERE BE LIGHT."

creation of adam was 6 days later and god rested.

chjapter 2 we're creating adam again, so i interpret we are still on day 6, and beginni9ng the begsats, countt the begats, about 5,000 tears. by the time you get to year 1 2000 years later. maybe 80000 years. outside.

Verse one suggests a perfectly formed earth.
Verse two suggests ruination a vast scale.
Follows is the restoration, fit for modern man, animals.

When oil is blamed, the topic of plants came up today. So did marine organisms. So oil has been found at a depth of 40,000 feet deep. We have no oceans that deep. Most of the oil found was found where we know the oceans were not ever at.
How deep is petroleum found?

The earliest year where data is available, 1949, shows the average depth of oil wells drilled was 3,500 feet. By 2008 the average rose to 6,000 feet. And the deepest well currently existing is a massive 40,000 feet deep.Nov 17, 2023

Titan's Surface Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth

Saturn's moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth, according to new data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

*almost all ethane and methane

Not the same thing.

Like what we find on earth? Negligible.

I distinctly remember Jed Clampett struck oil shooting at some food when up from the ground came a bubblin crude. Oil that is, black gold, millionaires.....
