You mean possible producer of abiotic oil. Well technically no, because these are organisms, so it would be oil of biologic origin. (I believe abiotic means not biological origin!). These organisms (I assume are similar to thermophiles*.) fit the late Dr Thomas Gold’s claims in his book “”The Hot Deep Biosphere”. It’s worth a read!

* thermophiles - bacteria, etc that inhabit deep ocean volcanic vents. Live under high temperature, high pressure, high metallic conditions.

adiabatic definition adjective

occurring without loss or gain of heat

Adiabatic oil is not a term commonly used in the context of oil formation or extraction. However, the concept of adiabatic compression is relevant in the context of oil exploration and extraction, particularly in understanding the behavior of gases and fluids under high pressure and temperature conditions. For example, adiabatic compression can occur when oxygen cylinders are quickly opened, leading to a sudden increase in local pressure and temperature, which can pose safety risks. Regarding oil formation, the abiotic oil theory proposes that some oil and natural gas deposits are formed inorganically, without the involvement of biological matter. This theory suggests that hydrocarbons can be synthesized deep within the Earth's mantle and then migrate to the surface.

However, the scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports a biogenic origin for most of the world's oil deposits, meaning that oil is primarily formed from the decomposition of long-dead organisms.

The abiotic oil theory, while not widely accepted, has gained some attention due to findings like the Eugene Island oil field in the Gulf of Mexico, which showed unexpected increases in production and changes in the geological age of the oil.

Some researchers, such as Vladimir Kutcherov and Alexander Kitchka, argue that a significant portion of oil deposits could be of abiotic origin and that oil may be found in geological structures where it is not traditionally sought.

It is important to note that while the abiotic oil theory challenges the conventional understanding of oil formation, the majority of scientific evidence still supports the biogenic origin of oil.

But scientific evidence is not necessarily accurate or correct.

Perhaps you mean abiogenic? (Thomas Gold)

Gold’s theories are always original, always important, usually controversial, and usually right. — Freeman Dyson
