You are spot on.
For me it’s gnats.
If I ever get to ask the creator a question it will be,
“Why the dang gnats?”
The boycott Russia movement isn’t going to like this.
They will like the current news.
Kommersant: ExxonMobil Suspends Cooperation with Rosneft on Arctic Project
http://www.rigzone.com/news/oil_gas/a/135219/Kommersant_ExxonMobil_Suspends_Cooperation_with_Rosneft_on_Arctic_Project
U.S. oil giant ExxonMobil is suspending cooperation with Russia’s state-owned company Rosneft on offshore drilling in the Arctic due to sanctions, the daily Kommersant reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources.
Peak Oil?
Still suspect, although I will give them this, they appear to approach this much more scientifically.
I realize truth is truth, no matter the source, so I’m not sure what to make of their report.
So could you please explain how we could get billions and billions of barrels of oil stored in unimaginably huge caverns (among other places) in the earth? How much algae and plankton would that take? And how exactly would it get there? And then what about natural gas?
First, they are not caverns. The oil is in the rock, there is not underground lakes. It is in the same sediment source that laid down that rock from the surface.
Picture a bucket, packed with sand as tightly as possible. You can still pour in water even though the bucket is filled with sand. Sedimentary rock is similar, although the “holes” are smaller and less connected.
Do you understand sedimentary rock? Do you understand the sediment carried down by rivers ends up piling up in places?
Natural Gas is from the same source. A natural gas field is a more thermally mature petroleum field; it was exposed to more heat and/or time and more completely decomposed into smaller molecules.
A less thermally mature field is more along the lines of the Canadian Oil sands with more bitumen than oil. Even farther would be oil shale like found in the Green River Formation that contains kerogen not yet cooked from the rock.
LOL!
ME too.
