So, as an olive branch to Abiogenic Oil aficionados, I will unequivocally state that their favored hypothesis is not impossible.īiogenic vs abiogenic is really a poor way to characterize the issue. It’s possible that oil forms in the mantle all the time. The chemical equations can be balanced. So, this post’s main thrust will be to explain why the Abiogenic Oil hypothesis is not widely accepted and why we think that the original source of crude oil is organic matter. Many of my posts have been about issues related to oil production and each of these posts usually triggers comments from Abiogenic Oil advocates. Over the past six years, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to write guest posts for Watts Up With That thanks to Anthony Watts. In light of Andy May’s recent post, Oil – Will we run out?, I thought I might post an essay on oil formation. I am a petroleum geologist/geophysicist with about 36 years of experience in oil & gas exploration mostly in the Gulf of Mexico.
