LMAO.........."peak oil"!!!


Abiogenic petroleum origin
The theory of
abiogenic petroleum origin states that
petroleum is produced by non-biological processes deep in the
Earth. This stands in contrast to the more widely held view that it is created from the fossilization of ancient organic matter. According to this theory, petroleum is formed by non-biological reactions deep in the Earth's crust. The constituent
precursors of petroleum (mainly
methane) are commonplace and it is possible that appropriate conditions exist for oil to be formed deep within the Earth.
Although this theory has support by a large minority of geologists in Russia, where it was intensively developed in the 1950s and 1960s, it has only recently begun to receive attention in the West, where the biogenic theory is still believed by the vast majority of petroleum geologists. Although it was originally denied that abiogenic hydrocarbons exist at all on earth, this is now admitted by Western geologists. The orthodox position now is that while abiogenic hydrocarbons exist, they are not produced in commercially significant quantities, so that essentially all hydrocarbons that are extracted for use as fuel or raw materials are biogenic.
A variation of the abiogenic theory includes alteration by microbes similar to those which form the basis of the ecology around deep hydrothermal vents.
One prediction of this theory is that other planets of the
Solar system or their moons have large petroleum oceans, either from
hydrocarbons present at the formation of the Solar system, or subsequent chemical reactions.
That this theory is receiving increasing attention from Western geologists is indicated by the fact that the
American Association of Petroleum Geologists scheduled a
conference (
fogri New AAPG Hedberg Conference in Vienna ) to meet in Vienna in July 2004 entitled "Origin of Petroleum—Biogenic and/or Abiogenic and Its Significance in Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production". The conference had to be canceled, however, due to financial considerations. Instead, AAPG will be holding a one-day session on the topic at the June 2005 annual meeting in
Calgary, Alberta.

= the climate crusading AGW religion >> universally duped!!!

One will notice.........they ONLY embrace THEIR science!!! Fascinating!!
