$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he equation that describes gas devolving from oil as it is cracked releases energy, to make that equation go backwards it requires an enormous amount of input energy. It has never been accomplished in a laboratory under closed conditions so I’m afraid it is a fantasy to imagine it happening in the crust. If your theory was correct we would never see relatively shallow reservoirs completely filled with dry gas as according to you that dry gas could somehow condense to become oil.


The upper mantle is a high energy, high pressure environment. Enormous, colossal, gigantic, pick your superlative. There's enough energy there to condense oil. And its been done in a lab. Here :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alexander F. Goncharov', 'W')e show that when methane is exposed to pressures higher than 2 GPa, and to temperatures in the range of 1,000–1,500 K, it partially reacts to form saturated hydrocarbons containing 2–4 carbons (ethane, propane and butane) and molecular hydrogen and graphite. Conversely, exposure of ethane to similar conditions results in the production of methane, suggesting that the synthesis of saturated hydrocarbons is reversible. Our results support the suggestion that hydrocarbons heavier than methane can be produced by abiogenic processes in the upper mantle.

You failed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ') Show me a data on a downwards explusion of oil from a sediment rock. It would be a thorn in my theory

There is not a single reservoir in the world where that is required. Every basement reservoir I have ever seen (a lot of them and in at least 5 continents) has been juxtaposed to source rock in the perfect position for lateral migration. That being said theoretically oil could migrate downwards given it will move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure...underpressured reservoirs are quite common. But it isn't necessary given what I said previously.

Then your ideas don't make sense. You've got oil bearing igneous rock beneath sedimentary sources rock, but the oil didn't migrate down. It tends to migrate up. Did the formation do two 180 flips so the igneous rock could be above the sedimentary source rock, to recieve the oil, then flip to get underneath the sedimentary rock again?
Madness.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')gain why are you arguing about something you don’t actually understand anything about? I refered to lost circulation material. If circulation was lost in order to regain it requires that materials that will block off the zone where drilling fluid is being lost to are circulated down the hole. I’ve been on a number of rigs where walnut shells, burlap from sacks, ground up limestone and yes graphite were circulated downhole to plug off the problem. You would not be able to stop lost circulation or unstick drill pipe or deal with formation flow without adding something to the drilling fluid.


You didn't mention lost circulation material. So now you're saying T.Gold had circulation problems in Siljan, and from all this stuff that can be used to plug a leak, he selected a load of oil to try plug the leak, therefore destroying the controls of the experiment, so what was later extracted as scientific evidence was just the oil he used to try plug the leak.
Well that's your dumbest story yet. You've got nothing substantial against Gold's Siljan, his extraction of mineral oil there was a vindication of abiotic theory and a discredit to biotic oil theory.


that paper doesn't actually do any analysis. It just says :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')nmistakable evidence found by geochemical analysis of oils, oil-stained rocks, and organic rocks points to the Ordovician bituminous Tretaspis Shale as the source for the oil found in the Siljan crater.

And thats all!

Unmistakable - used like its a magic word that supposed to defeat un-believers. It doesn't work. They should at least provide the analysis.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')acondo was drilled in 5000 feet of water to the reservoir at 18,000 feet below sea level. That means the oil at Macondo was at a depth below mudline of 13,000 feet or around 4000 m. The depth of water does not come into play in oil and gas generation given it does not add additional burial heat to the sediment pile, it is the depth from seafloor to source that matters, in this case well below the depths I mentioned from Ventura county.


Its side stepping the issue if you latch on to my minor error there : Macondo the well that destroyed DeepHorizons was relatively shallow, but the Tibers old field found by DeepHorizons in 2009 was 10km deep. Thats the key point, you avoided it.
It's proximity to the mantle that heats rocks. Having cold ocean on top making the rock floor cold means a steeper temperature gradient with depth, and at 10.5km beneath sea level and 1.2km of water that makes Tibers over 9km 'below the mudline', and full of oil. You've failed.

Well how about the paper presented by J.R. Catano in Stockholm in 1992.

J. R. Castano (1992) Geochemical evaluation of the Gravberg-1 well, Geologiska Föreningen i Stockholm Förhandlingar, 114:1, 156-157

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Gravberg-1 well is situated in the Siljan ring area of central Sweden, which was formed as the result of a meteorite impact about 360 m.y. ago. The objective of the drilling was to explore for abiogenic deep mantle gas in the fractured granite within the crater. The program for geochemical analysis was carried out at thesite and at seven off-sitelaboratories; it was designed to analyze light hydrocarbon and inorganic gases from several different kinds of samples. The changing character of the mud system, varying from fresh water to a bentonite-barite mud at times contaminated with diesel and other additives, and an oil-based mud which was used in Sidetracks 2 and 3, has had a significant impact on data interpretation.


And their analysis, by the way, points out that the so-called oil Gold claimed to have recovered was water mixed with gases comprised 98% of C1 and 2% of C2 and C3. No oil whatsoever.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 't')hat paper doesn't actually do any analysis. It just says :

Unmistakable evidence found by geochemical analysis of oils, oil-stained rocks, and organic rocks points to the Ordovician bituminous Tretaspis Shale as the source for the oil found in the Siljan crater.

And thats all!

Unmistakable - use like its a magic word that supposed to defeat un-believers. It doesn't work. They should at least provide the analysis.


Well this is what else that study had to say:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n general, hydrocarbon gas shows in the Siljan crater are minor, except in the Solberga well. As water in the Siljan area normally contains small amounts of hydrocarbon gas of bacteria origin (marsh gas), it is difficult to separate this background gas from observed gas in the boreholes. A number of gas shows are considered to be of bacterial origin. In the Solberga well two basically different hydrocarbon gasses were found: one, a “wet” gas, is clearly related to the oils in the sedimentary rocks, while the other “dry” gas could be originating from a different source. No carbon isotope data were available to indicate the type and origin of this gas. It is purely speculative to assume it is abiogenic. Varying quantities of hydrogen gas were found in the Siljan area. These could have originated from several different sources, such as: oxidation of ferrous oxide, reactions between surface and formation water, solid state reactions in minerals, and association 6 with organic matter and or petroleum. Sufficient evidence is lacking to define the different sources.


And perhaps we should point out that Gold doesn’t provide any analysis either other than his observations. But he did note there was nothing encountered above C4, so sorry no oil.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 't')s side stepping the issue if you latch on to my minor error there : Macondo the well that destroy DeepHorizons was relatively shallow, but the Tibers old field found by DeepHorizons in 2009 was 10km deep. Thats the key point, you avoided it.

Sidestepping the issue? You were adamant that Macondo proved your point. Tiber? OK, well first of all you have a number of problems which I wouldn’t expect you to understand. Firstly the well was drilled to that depth but neither BP or it’s partners have indicated the depths at which DST’s were run nor have they mentioned how much recovered was oil and how much was gas and given they are reporting any estimates in barrels of oil equivalent it means they recovered gas as well as oil. Suggesting they are producing from the bottom of the hole is just wild incorrect speculation, especially given the nature of Tertiary reservoirs in this area (relatively thin stacked sands). As to cold water having anything to do with heatflow from the sediment pile once again you don’t understand how all of this is calculated (i.e from hottom hole temperatures in nearby wells and then modeled upwards knowing what the sediment pile is comprised of. What does affect things is the presence of salt tongues that are linked to deep seated salt in the sedimentary pile. At Tiber that salt tongue which overlays the Tertiary sedimentary pile is particularly thick and deep rooted so it will actually decrease the heat flow in the sedimentary pile below it as it is a very effective heat sink, transmitting the deep seated heat at the root of the salt diaper to the sediments above the salt tongue.
The peak and end of oil generation in the area around Tiber was established in a thesis as being peak oil generation at 10,999 feet and end of oil generation at 27, 473 feet to 30,241feet corresponding to a range in measured borehole temperatures of 104 to 130 C (which is consistent with the cracking temperature of oil in the laboratory). The deep end of oil window is not the start of oil cracking but rather the point at which it ends, all oil having been converted. So two things because of the extremely thick pile of salt diapir tongue above the reservoir at Tiber and it’s cousin Kaskida the sediment pile below it is colder and hence the bottom to the oil window somewhat deeper and secondly we can’t speak to what depth oil is being produced and at what depth it is mainly gas since BP or it’s partners have not released the wells nor the test data.

The thesis referred to is:

Malborough, J.P. 2015. Petroleum Play Study of the Keathley Canyon, Gulf of Mexico. Msc thesis, University of New Orleans. 73 pp.

All liquids peaked in 2015 and has now reached a plateau. Will the producers be able to maintain production on this plateau or will the production start to decline ? Without production growth the global economy can't grow. Without economic growth the $220T global debt bubble can't be serviced. When the debt bubble starts to deflate the financial institutions turn insolvent. A financial crisis will lead to an economic crisis that will lead to an oil crisis.

Again. The same thing was claimed or 2005. And then later 2008. Turns out, plateau didn't last long, it was more like a pause in yet more oil production. Funny thing that one. Maybe more to follow? it has historical precedent now, and the sine wave model of oil production predicts it. The real question is how many MORE times can this profile be achieved.

Depends on demand. And by extension price. So guess at those first, and then we can answer the supply question.

It did between 1979 and about 1993, when there was zero growth in oil production between those two points. So why do you think it can't happen again? Peak oils have not happened multiple times, so why not GDP growth without increased oil production as well?

Yeah, heard that one before as well. Turns out, the last economic crisis led to an oil price crash (much appreciated) and then a resurgence and the tidal wave of US oil production demonstrating why no one needs worry about bell shaped curve profiles anymore.

And those financial institutions? They get to use bankruptcy courts as well, lucky for them!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '2')005 or thereabouts was the peak in conventional oil. It's when GW Bush announced his intent to change the definition of petroleum. It now includes corn ethanol, biodiesel, propane and butane.


As you have been told countless times this is incorrect. The definition that EIA has for crude production does not include corn ethanol, biodiesel and only includes propane and butane if it is part of the production stream prior to being separated at the refinery.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A') mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in liquid phase in natural underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities. Depending upon the characteristics of the crude stream, it may also include: 

 Small amounts of hydrocarbons that exist in gaseous phase in natural underground reservoirs but are liquid at atmospheric pressure after being recovered from oil well (casinghead) gas in lease separators and are subsequently commingled with the crude stream without being separately measured. Lease condensate recovered as a liquid from natural gas wells in lease or field separation facilities and later mixed into the crude stream is also included;
 Small amounts of nonhydrocarbons produced with the oil, such as sulfur and various metals;
 Drip gases, and liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar sands, oil sands, gilsonite, and oil shale.

Liquids produced at natural gas processing plants are excluded. Crude oil is refined to produce a wide array of petroleum products, including heating oils; gasoline, diesel and jet fuels; lubricants; asphalt; ethane, propane, and butane; and many other products used for their energy or chemical content.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'b')ut there is a price that destroys economies. We know it. It's around $70/barrel. There is also a price oil companies need to produce new oil. It's $71/barrel


Once again complete nonsense and it is something that you have been schooled on countless times. The US and global GDP continued to increase throughout the period from 2011 to 2014 when Brent and WTI hovered around $100/bbl. Petroleum consumption also continued to increase throughout that period indicating that not only is $70/bbl not an impediment but neither is $100/bbl. But I’m sure all you are trying to do is convert this thread into another ridiculous discussion on ETP.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')conomies all over the world were destroyed by the Greatest Recession Ever. It was nice that your mom and dad sheltered you from the truth.


There are actually very few economies that have not recovered and in a better place than they previously were. Global GDP decreased only slightly from 2008 through 2009 and then continued to rise beyond that indicating there was not wholesale slaughter due to the recession.

.
The best argument against a sizable Abiotic generation of hydrocarbon is the fact
that it is not found in newly solidified Earth crust .

I wouldn't mind , one could speculate on the influence of extremophile organisms occupying the lithosphere
they have been found in quantity down to 4,000m and could be present down to 7.000m

Ultimately , would Abiotic generation , if any , amount to a collectable quantity ?
I doubt it

While you implying that you aren't in the least bit familiar with global oil production trends is completely believable, it also demonstrates that you are to ill-informed to even attempt to discuss this topic. And can't use google.

May I recommend some remedial learning, that you might not be at such a disadvantage when putting forth poorly informed conclusions?

And if you let me know the location of the nearest community college, perhaps I could peruse their curriculum and find a course on using internet search engines as well? Always glad to be of help for you Pstarr. :)

The best answer of this thread.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')nd now for some hair splitting about. I have an oil field producing 10,000 bopd in Jab 2017. As it depletes production drops to 900 bopd on Jan 2018. Thus the field's PO date is Jan 2017. But during Feb 2018 oil prices crash so by March 2018 I crank my pumps up to 1,100 bopd. That's well above the MER...Maximum Efficient Rate. That's the production rate above which one MIGHT reduce ultimate recovery and perhaps even damage the wells.

But I need the f*cking revenue to pay my bills. So is Jan 2017 the PO date for the field or is it now March 2018. Statistically it's March 2018 but if one takes that info to imply that I will recover more oil from the field you would be wrong. In fact, it might even imply a decrease in ultimate recover. This is a real aspect of current situation and not theoretical: seen it done numerous times in my career.

But the impossible answer is to what degree has happened due to new wells being drilled? IOW how much of the recent oil production increase is from newly discovered reserves and how much from pumping old reserves harder? No way to tell. But the good news: again it still isn't important. Virtually every other factor in the POD has much greater potential impact on our lives then the GPO date. So for Dog's sake stop the f*cking arguments. LOL.


We struggle to keep pumping enough oil to feed the demand. Not that it was easier before, but it was certainly less complex. Technically, geopotically, economically, ecologically. And the complexity is increasing.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rockdoc123', 'W')hat I said was each and every igneous or for that matter crystalline basement rock that has produced oil is juxtaposed (that means beside not beneath) the source rock to which it has been typed. Hence why I said lateral migration. Do a search for Bach Ho and you will find a picture of this relationship?


Now that you're feeling a bit more confident you've dropped your wall of jargon defence, and I can make sense of what you say.
Is this the sort of formation you mean?
Image
So the sediment source rock leaks oil into the higher basement rock where it gets trapped. Seems consistent. But I notice the source rock is itself above fracture basement rock, so I think thats where its getting its oil. But your lot wouldn't bother to check if the sediment rock is itself being supplied with oil from lower rocks cos it would discredit your theory.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ell how about the paper presented by J.R. Catano in Stockholm in 1992.

their analysis, by the way, points out that the so-called oil Gold claimed to have recovered was water mixed with gases comprised 98% of C1 and 2% of C2 and C3. No oil whatsoever.


Gold claimed C1 to C5 in 15 tonnes of oil. Even if it was something other than oil, c1 to c5 is good enough for me, and clearly good enough for conventional geologists, including you because it prompted them to asserting that an ancient sediment layer got into the cracks and saturated them with hydrocarbon. Up till then the Siljan crater had been thought to be strictly devoid of hydrocarbon bearing sediment material.
So make up your mind, is there no significant hydrocarbon in the Siljan crater, or do you need your ancient sediment to explain the hydrocarbon there?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n general, hydrocarbon gas shows in the Siljan crater are minor, except in the Solberga well. As water in the Siljan area normally contains small amounts of hydrocarbon gas of bacteria origin (marsh gas), it is difficult to separate this background gas from observed gas in the boreholes.

In the Solberga well two basically different hydrocarbon gasses were found: one, a “wet” gas, is clearly related to the oils in the sedimentary rocks, while the other “dry” gas could be originating from a different source. No carbon isotope data were available to indicate the type and origin of this gas. It is purely speculative to assume it is abiogenic. Varying quantities of hydrogen gas were found in the Siljan area. These could have originated from several different sources, such as: oxidation of ferrous oxide, reactions between surface and formation water, solid state reactions in minerals, and association 6 with organic matter and or petroleum. Sufficient evidence is lacking to define the different sources.

Not a refutation of abiotic oil theory. It says there's unexplained hydrocarbon in Siljan, but the biotic oil trained geologists don't explore abiotic theory, but dismiss it as speculation. Why? The experiment was to test abiotic theory, yet they don't explore it. Its like dropping a ball to test gravity and saying, "there was an unexplained motion of the ball to the ground, it is purely speculative to assume it was gravity.". It is profoundly unscientific to dismiss theory this way.

Are they running scared of what they might find?


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')nd perhaps we should point out that Gold doesn’t provide any analysis either other than his observations.


His analysis is here :

Wrt to the Tiber oil field, ok i accept what you say. Actually it doesn't matter to abiotic oil theory if oil is not present below 9000m. As it rises from the upper mantle, it condenses or drops out of solution at some depth, perhaps around 9000m. That's consistent with abiotic theory.

Your take on it was worth reading though, thanks. You are helping me sharpen my understanding of abiotic oil theory.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('sparky', '.')
The best argument against a sizable Abiotic generation of hydrocarbon is the fact
that it is not found in newly solidified Earth crust .

I wouldn't mind , one could speculate on the influence of extremophile organisms occupying the lithosphere
they have been found in quantity down to 4,000m and could be present down to 7.000m

Ultimately , would Abiotic generation , if any , amount to a collectable quantity ?
I doubt it


Well we assert practically all mineral oil is abiotic, so it created the world's oil reserves, so the answer is yes.

'newly solidified Earth crust'

What does cooled lava look like? Lava is burnt crude oil mixed with rock, it is rich in carbon. ( yes this is a photo of cooled lava, not heavy oil, they look so similar )
