BLACK-GOLD BLUES Discovery backs theory oil not 'fossil fuel'

New evidence supports premise that Earth produces endless supply

------------------

A study published in Science Magazine today presents new evidence supporting the abiotic theory for the origin of oil, which asserts oil is a natural product the Earth generates constantly rather than a "fossil fuel" derived from decaying ancient forests and dead dinosaurs.

The lead scientist on the study – Giora Proskurowski of the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington in Seattle – says the hydrogen-rich fluids venting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the Lost City Hydrothermal Field were produced by the abiotic synthesis of hydrocarbons in the mantle of the earth.

The abiotic theory of the origin of oil directly challenges the conventional scientific theory that hydrocarbons are organic in nature, created by the deterioration of biological material deposited millions of years ago in sedimentary rock and converted to hydrocarbons under intense heat and pressure.

While organic theorists have posited that the material required to produce hydrocarbons in sedimentary rock came from dinosaurs and ancient forests, more recent argument have suggested living organisms as small as plankton may have been the origin...

The last paragraph of this newsletter would certainly infuriate a liberal...

“The notion that hydrocarbon use must be reduced because of diminishing supply rested on two tenets - very small known reserves and the “fossil’’ fuel hypothesis, which implies very slow ongoing production and minimal undiscovered reserves. The free market has destroyed the first of these two tenets for at least the next 1,000 years. If research destroys the “fossil’’ idea, even our very distant descendants will not be limited. (Given the rate of technological advance, they will also likely be able to make any petroleum they need by other means.)”

I'm new here, but there ARE active solutions. $100/bbl crude is another Illuminati conspiracy designed to enrich them and also fuel their power-base thru the pain and misery it all causes.... It is just one aspect of creating reality. Knowledge is power, and this is my humble attempt to share VIABLE knowledge.Help me share it to more?? stvn.

can it be that when God created the earth, He also created the oil under the earth? Just as He created the water under, on and over the earth. We all live near a forest and yet when the trees and animals in that forest decays there are no oil deposits underneath it. And, you can go back to biblical times, the middle east wasn’t the best groing place for forests where the trees and foliage decayed forming oil from the trapped energy from the leaf photosynthesis.

These microbes are the source of the biological compounds that have led to the belief that petroleum is fossil in origin.

Do these hypothetical microbes also create the molecular remnants of chlorophyll, marine algae, and flowering land plants that are found in many crude oils? Crude oils whose shale source beds were deposited before the evolution of flowering plants do not contain the molecular biomarkers for flowering plants.

That is not to say that some low molecular weight hydrocarbons might not be generated in deep formations, but it is not the source of most crude oils.

If you take the marine organic matter deposited in shales and heat it in a lab, you create crude oil with all the appropriate biomarkers. Oil is not found in any significant amounts in areas that do not have large organic shale (or in some cases, carbonate) source beds. If Gold's theory were correct, then why aren't significant amounts of oil found in those source-bed deficient areas?

Oil reservoirs that refill are by far the exception rather than the rule. There are explanations for the phenomena, including continuing upward spill or migration from lower reservoirs that filled the higher reservoirs in the first place.
