The formation of oil is still inconclusive, how does the scientific community deduce the cause?

According to the modern theory of oil and gas genesis, oil is mainly derived from organic matter, which mainly comes from four organisms: bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton and higher plants. After the death of these organisms, some of the corpses are destroyed by oxidation, but under the right conditions, some are still stored in sediments such as sand. Over time, these sediments will get deeper and deeper.

In this process, these organic substances undergo complex biochemical and chemical changes. Kerogen is formed in a chaotic and humification process. With the further increase of the burial depth, the content of kerogen will gradually increase under certain temperature and pressure conditions.

Catalytic cracking and thermal cracking occur to form the original **. ** Subsequently, they slide out of the rocks they form and accumulate in large quantities in the appropriate environment (trap) to form reservoirs as a result of primary and secondary migrations.

It mainly indicates that it may be due to the activities between the earth's crust, and it may also have a lot to do with groundwater, and it is also because of the activities of groundwater and other materials that oil appears.

It is determined according to the composition analysis of petroleum, after all, this analysis is also relatively scientific and more reliable than other methods.

When it comes to oil, we are all familiar with it, the gasoline burned by our cars is extracted from petroleum, and there are many petroleum products that bring convenience to our lives, such as the plastic bags we use and the asphalt laid on the road, which are directly related to oil.

We have been using oil on a large scale for more than a century, but there has been controversy about how oil was formed. The most common theory is that oil was formed by the remains of ancient animals, and later some people believed that oil was a naturally formed energy source in the earth's interior.

Scientific research has found that the main components of oil are hydrocarbonation lease complexes, which contain sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and other elements, so some scientists speculate that oil is formed by the rich carbon in the earth's interior, not by paleontological remains. Due to the lighter mass of hydrocarbons, it is easier to run to the surface to form oil fields. The formation of oil from hydrocarbons in the formation is the theory of abiotic oiling, and the traditional theory of bio-formation is considered to be wrong.

According to the view of oil formation, it is not as simple as the corpse of an animal falling on the ground to form oil, digging the ground in the forest or grassland area, you will see that the soil or swamp buried deep in the ground, the organic matter in which is as high as 20%, this is because plants and animals become organic soil after death, not the product of oil.

According to the replacement of the old and the new in nature, these soils will increase every year, there are statistics that these soils will increase by 3 centimeters every 100 years, and those organic matter will gradually be buried deep in the ground, don't underestimate the increase of 3 centimeters of soil in a hundred years, the earth has existed for more than 4 billion years, and has accumulated a large amount of soil with organic matter, and these soil with organic matter is the basis for the formation of oil.

Globally, scientists estimate that the Earth has a total of 2,092 billion barrels of oil reserves, or 286.6 billion tons. In 2018, a study published in PNAS showed that the total biomass of the Earth's biosphere was 550 billion tons of carbon. Marine biomass accounts for only a small part, but it is also astronomical, because the energy transfer efficiency of the food chain is only about 10%, most of the biomass in the ocean is mainly photosynthetic bacteria, algae and plankton.

So oil reserves are actually produced primarily by marine microorganisms, including bacteria, algae, and plankton, rather than macrofauna, and these microorganisms have a very short lifespan that can be measured in days, hours, or even minutes, so the biomass of microorganisms that actually die each year is much higher than the total biomass. As the microorganisms die, they sink to the bottom of the ocean and are gradually covered by the accumulated sediment, a process that lasts tens or even hundreds of millions of years, and it is normal for them to gradually transform into the oil they are today.

The general perception of petroleum is liquid, but it depends on the condensation point of the hood, some of which have a high condensation point at room temperature or even solid, and usually oil also carries mixtures such as associated gas and impurities such as sediment.

Petroleum is a very complex hydrocarbon.

and a mixture of non-hydrocarbon compounds, the main components of which are carbon and hydrogen, as well as a small amount of heteroatoms such as sulfur and oxygen, and 50 trace elements.

Such as nickel, vanadium, iron, sodium, etc. The relative molecular mass of the compounds that make up petroleum.

From tens to thousands, their molecular structures are also diverse. A reasonable and complete description of the molecular structure and content of each petroleum mixture is of great significance for the refinery to manage the petroleum processing process at the molecular level.

Modern science and technology has a mystery of the formation of oil that cannot be solved, modern science believes that oil is when the earth's plate changes greatly, the life on the ground is quickly buried near the depths of the stratum at the moment of life or death, and the formation of oil is formed by the slow decomposition of the underground high temperature and high pressure, the formation of oil is very harsh, according to these conditions, the natural death of organisms and the destruction of organisms caused by natural disasters such as the collision of the great flood planet, the corpse of the organism will only slowly decay and decompose naturally, and cannot form oil.

According to the statistics of the world's energy authorities. Now there are only about 200 billion tons of oil on the earth, and a large proportion of living organisms are composed of water, if all the living organisms on the earth are converted into oil in an ideal state, a total of about 300 million tons of ** can be produced, that is to say, all the creatures on our earth must be destroyed at least 700 times in an ideal state, and everything is buried deep in the earth's crust in an instant in the disaster, all converted into oil, and there is almost no waste to produce the current oil reserves on the earth. After death, living organisms are instantly buried deep in the earth, and reach the conditions for the formation of oil, this probability is very, very small, most of them are naturally decomposed or formed into fossils because they cannot meet the conditions for the formation of oil, according to this probability all the organisms on the earth must be destroyed unimaginably many times to form 200 billion tons of oil!

If the reason for the formation of oil in the textbooks is correct, there is only one explanation, and that is that the history of the earth is much longer than we know, that is to say, the history of mankind and civilization are repetitive, cyclical! This explanation only makes sense if it has experienced countless civilizations and then developed countless new civilizations! But unfortunately there is no direct evidence for this explanation developed in archaeology, or the oil is not formed by the death and precipitation of organic matter at all, but for another reason, what do you think about this?

The theory of geoscience has been corrupted by some authorities, and all scholars specializing in geoscience have found that all kinds of deceptions deliberately fabricated by the authorities of geoscience can no longer be deceived.

Hello landlord

I looked up the information on your question.

How oil is formed is theoretically immature, and there are other points of view, which are referred to below.

The traditional theory of petroleum geology believes that the formation of oil is the biological remains deposited on the seabed millions of years ago, covered with sediment, decayed under the action of microorganisms, and heated under long-term pressure to form oil and gas.

Modern petroleum theory believes that oil is composed of organic animal and plant remains buried in the ground and sediment composed of organic sludge, due to the formation of the layer of continuous burial layer by layer, deeper and deeper, and finally isolated from the outside air, resulting in an anoxic environment, coupled with the increase of temperature at the depths, the increase of pressure, anaerobic oxygen bacteria will decompose the organic matter, forming dispersed oil droplets, which is oil.

Due to the continuous decline of the formation, the humidity continues to rise, coupled with the gravitational pull of the center of the earth, the decomposed oil droplets will be active, and move to the direction of the center of the earth, the higher the temperature, the more active the oil droplets may be, due to the different material structures of the formation, and the density of the material is greater the deeper it goes, but the sediment under the formation is sometimes coarse, and the voids between the particles are larger, so sandstone and gravel are formed; Sometimes the grains are fine, and shale and mudstone are formed. Under the pressure of the formation, these scattered oil droplets will continue to travel along the route they can pass, and finally be squeezed into the porous sandstone layer, becoming a formation of oil reserves; The shale layer, which has very small voids, cannot be squeezed into it by oil droplets, and cannot store oil, so it becomes an "isolation layer" to prevent oil from escaping.

And because the earth's crust is composed of dense shale-basalt, and it is uneven, the upward protrusion is called the oblique structure, and the downward curved is called the oblique structure; Some rock formations are uplifted like steamed buns, which is called dome structure. The collected oil droplets will continue along the slope towards the top of the dip or dome formation, where the oil is in the upper part and the water is in the middle and lower parts. Entering the sunken crustal area, it is like a large basin, collecting oil flows, and the more and more they are collected, it becomes a large "warehouse" for storing oil, which is called "oil storage structure" in geology.

From the scattered oil droplets to the converging oil stream, and finally into the large oil storage "warehouse", it can also be said that the earth decomposes, heats, pressurizes, refines, collects, and stores a series of processing processes for animal and plant debris containing organic matter, and is a processing system for the earth to manufacture and store high calorific value energy substances.

Hope to adopt it in a timely manner

How exactly is oil formed? The standard answer was overturned, and no one has answered it so far.

The general view in the academic community is that oil is formed by the long evolution of organisms in ancient oceans or lakes, that is, biological sedimentation into oil, and oil is a non-renewable resource.

It is composed of various organic substances that have evolved slowly through thousands of years of geological changes, and the main components of petroleum are hydrocarbons.

Generally, after the natural death of bacteria, plants, and animals thousands of years ago, they were buried in the land, seawater, or lake water. As the earth's crust moves, and then gets deeper and deeper in the sediment, it goes through a complex series of biological and chemical changes, catalytic cracking, and finally the formation of oil.

The real cause of the formation of oil is the combination of carbon and other substances, but the true cause has not yet been determined. Scientists believe that it may have evolved slowly from organic matter, or it was conceived by nature.
