My husband has always said this. It really does make sense, I always knew it wasn’t just the dinosaurs.

Game changer alert!

I have heard of the Russian research on this topic and the results are worth noting. Russian researchers were actually able to duplicate the creation of oil in the laboratory using extremes of heat & pressure.

I asked a guy in church who is in the oil business and asked him, “If oil is basically dinosaur sh*t and old plant life, are there ever any bits & pieces that come up that actually show this? He couldn’t really answer the question.

Even if it were true, it’s not being created fast enough to satisfy our appetite for oil.

Humans have been transmogrifying substances into oil for generations. Why is it so hard to believe nature is doing the same thing?

I have long held that oil is a self-generating renewable resource. I have read articles from decades ago which noted that once dry wells became replenished, albeit slowly.

The radical left greens lie for the purpose of trying to amass government power over others and to control our lives, i.e., enslave us.

While it is occuring if course, it is the rate....and the where....that we don't know.

Be careful you don't trap yourself in an "endangered species" situation.

Take trees for example...We now take one and plant 3....

If we take x barrels but only 1/2x is "renewing" at the same time, we are indeed in an "endangered species" situation.

Don't give them any ideas.

I've known this since soon after the Russian project yielded its data. We should reject and refute the term "fossil fuels" for "petrochemical fuels" in any energy discussion not specifically about coal.

Never let the left control the language of debate.

I wonder what the math would show if someone were to covert all of the oil and gas we have ever used to its caloric equivalent and then figured out how much dinosaur meat that equals. It seem impossible to me that enough of this meat found its way into collections miles deep to be converted into hydrocarbons by a (to me at least) murky process that somehow left no hint of bone or tooth in the mess that has produced billions of barrels of oil and cubic feel of gas.

Oh non..the peak oil and deep ecology set will be devastated

“........we have an unending supply of oil, some of which is constantly migrating upward from the depths at which it is created to refill existing oil deposits, and much more of which remains far below the surface. This oil can be recovered using existing technology.”

I believe it was in the 1980’s I first read about this as theory, and later, more recently read about the tars, and the oils percolating up from the depths of the Earth.

I would be something if it were discovered that below the moon’s surface were oil deposits created when the moon had enough oxygen to support these organisms below the surface.

Russian technology was developed in the 1970s to test the theory by drilling as deep as 40,000 feet into the earth.

AFIK, the deep Soviet boreholes produced hydrogen and water.

As a result, Russia was the first nation to begin to understand and exploit these renewable oil reserves, and today their oil industry is thriving.

If true, why can't the abiotic theory predict where to obtain methane/oil? The Russian oil & gas industry production occurs in geologic basins as is the case around the world.

Self replenishing energy source?

It seems like a key part of an intelligent design.

You just need beings intelligent enough to grasp the obvious.

Glad you posted this. About 10 percent of geologists lean towards this theory that the earth generates its own oil. Problem is the term fossil fuel was invented by the oil industry to imply finite source thus they can justify the high prices and shortages in the future. Add to this is the environmentalists who think continue usage of oil will destroy the world. Their push for green energy is based on impending theory that oil will run out. These two powerful groups will attempt to squash the abiotic theory for oil vs the biotic theory.

Then why do deposits exist only in sedimentary rock, sometimes with impermeable metamorphic or igneous structures beneath?

Beyond that, most Americans have digested the fact that the entire environmentalist rationale for pursuing "green energy" technology is built on fabricated global warming....

An Inconvenient Truth. ;o)

IMHO, their true rationale is world control and wealth redistribution, i.e., communism. I have believed this since Mikhail Gorbachev ‘converted” from communism to environmentalism.
