So the thought occurred: Water H20 is theorised to migrate down there. On the way it will pass through carbon rich rocks. At high temperatures and pressures can the hydrogen and carbon combine to form hydrocarbons, starting with methane, and eventually oils.
Does the oil then "go up" to create oil fields?
Thought experiment: You discover that there is unlimited oil (an oceans worth). What do you do? you suppress it and take countermeasures. Unlimited energy will lead to a population boom - so clip fertility becomes important. Unlimited energy would curtail other energy tech - so demonise oil now and build the alternative tech (solar and wind and heat pumps) so the world is not dominated by oil derived energy. Demonise CO2 so people will not want to use the unlimited oil. Curtail oil exploration so people never discover the unlimited resource.
The petro-dollar FED would be destroyed by unlimited oil - economic death to established power structures.
Anyway - have fun with todays schitzopost. Something to think about later, when future proves past (proven oil reserves?). I need to lie down now.
But, having WORKED in the OIL Industry out of Houston that IS EXACTLY how oil is made...but one more thang needs to be added, the molton IRON & NICKEL BUT there are OTHER elements that come out of the processing of 1 barrel of oil...
Also, coming from TEXAS, wells would be capped for a period of time due to the "OIL" running out but in a few years, depending, the well head would be opened up and guess what...THERE'D BY OIL!!!!!
Have been thinking about this quite awhile about the "gold" and this makes more since!!!
👆👆 I've been in the energy industry for 25 years. We had Oil & Gas publications in the office where a Petroleum Geologist wrote how they discovered empty wells that were capped in the 1960's were refilling by the 1990's.
DOWN HOLE imaging equipment and also setting off explosive charges in areas where the geologist has determined...the sound waves coming back to the sonar receivers is the estimated time and they know fro studying different formations how deep it is...most of it is just "wild ass guess" and usually is pretty accurate.
NOTE: THIS COUNTRY has lost some of the BEST Wildcatters in the oil business and it is going to take a generation to figure out what these guys did!!!
Other elements come out of processing? And then you show a list of products made from oil based polymers. Are you using the word elements and products interchangeably? Or ... Wait wut?
This is a great post. I have often seen people claiming that oil is renewable and at some level I knew it was true. But I had never seen a possible mechanism theorized for how this happens. Here you have put forward an extremely plausible mechanism.
Do we have an chemistfags that can give us a breakdown on how this may or may not work chemically?
Yup. Everything you said and the fact that deep water itself is a renewable resource - meaning pure water far below contaminated aquifers and the water table. Absolute game changers. Add to all this unlimited energy and water, placing copper rods in the ground to grow food. Simple copper can "recharge" the soil and eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers - even compost. So many things that have been kept from us to enslave us.
I wanted to upvote you but you are already at 17. I wanted to say something similar. Yes, the earth pressure could work like a pressure chamber to crack lower hydrocarbons into ones of higher molecular weight, hence crude oil. Yeah there's a limited supply in that the earth itself is finite BUT it's a re-occurring supply - like the carbon cycle. Sure, there is only so many gazillion tons of carbon on earth but it keeps getting reused, etc etc. Same thing could be true with this carbon / petroleum cycle. The earth's gravity keeps making more of it.
This story of very deep water chemically trapped in rocks 320 miles deep recently resurfaced: https://www.indy100.com/science-tech/ocean-beneath-earth-crust-ringwoodite-2659686565

You guys sound qualified enough to answer this question ive had for a while:
The deepest Man has ever dug into the Earth is roughly 7.5 miles deep at the Kola Superdeep Borehole
How is it, then, that we know what lies 350 miles deep?
DOWN HOLE imaging equipment and also setting off explosive charges in areas where the geologist has determined...the sound waves coming back to the sonar receivers is the estimated time and they know fro studying different formations how deep it is...most of it is just "wild ass guess" and usually is pretty accurate.

Somehow it's hard for me to "fathom" how water would migrate down to a place that is so hot and high pressure without turning into a geyser first.
