Thanks for the information.
I tend to agree with the theory of abiotic origin of oil. It makes much more sense than oil having been squeezed from organic matter, which slow, open air - or underwater, decay would have destroyed - unless huge volumes of organic matter had been somehow been concentrated and folded into very large and sealed pockets, the currently accepted theory just doesn’t seem plausible, IMO.
Yeah, that and the largest oil well in the world is the Gwahir (sp?) oil well in Saudi Arabia. Its a 19 sq mile cube. A lot of dinos must have gone there to die.
Methane is released in deep hot vents in the ocean, from volcanoes, and can be found on many planets and moons in our solar system. Natural Gas is 95.2% methane. The rest is propane and ethane, mostly. Those 2 have been detected on other planets as well. Petroleum is liquid nat gas and coal the solid. Col L Fletcher Prouty (JFK’s administration) laughed when people told him gas was a fossil fuel.
Plate techtonics hold mysteries, but we should just drill and pump until we know for sure.
