Oil Crisis

[Ophiolite]

Chevron's Jack 2, Chevron's Tahiti, British Petroleum's Thunder Horse, British Petroleum's Atlantis, White Tiger and Black Lion in Vietnam.

Etc, etc, etc.

The Vietnamese fields are not at 30,000'. If I recall correctly - and I have visited these particualr operations, they ar enot even over 15,000'.
BP's Atlantis field lies below about 18,000' of sediments.
Do you want me to continue?

Want to talk about Jack 2 or Tahiti? Didn't think so.

17,000 feet. That's only ten thousand feet below the deepest fossil ever discovered. And they are in igneous rock.

I haen't heard of them, so I haven't had a chance to check on them yet.

1) Nonsense. What makes you believe that the deepest fossil was recovered from such a shallow depth? Ah, I know. Gullible acceptance of agenda ridden internet web sites.
There is nothing at all unusual about finding oil in granite. Virtually all oil has migrated to the reservoir from the source rock. A fractured, or weathered granite can function just as well as a reservoir as any of the more conventional lithologies.

Do you have any understanding whatsoever of geology? It seesm not.

Of course you haven't or you wouldn't be making such uninformed comments. Allow me to educate you.

The Jack well was completed and tested in 7,000 feet of water, and more than 20,000 feet under the sea floor, breaking Chevron's 2004 Tahiti well test record as the deepest successful well test in the Gulf of Mexico. The Jack #2 well was drilled to a total depth of 28,175 feet.

The Tahiti #1 well is located in approximately 4,017 feet of water and was drilled to a depth of 28,411 feet on March 29 using the Transocean Sedco Forex Discoverer Deep Seas drilling vessel.

You are a lot more ignorant than I originally thought.

I know. Tell me about it.

Virtually all oil has migrated to the reservoir from the source rock. A fractured, or weathered granite can function just as well as a reservoir as any of the more conventional lithologies.

Source rocks aren't sedimentary they are igneous.

Agreed.

How is limestone a problem for me?

It's biogenic, there's a lot of it, and it exists at considerable depths below the surface - often deep enough to be changed to metamorphic rock.

It's the same problem you have with microfossils at great depths - the reality contradicts your assertions on this thread.

Oil is being drilled from igneous rock. It's obvious that sedimentary rocks exist above the igneous source rocks. Your argument makes as much sense as saying that hydrocarbons are formed by topsoil because we have to drill into it in order to strike oil.

[OilIsMastery]

I repeat: oil is being drilled from igneous rock. Microfossils have never been made into hydrocarbons. How many microfossils per barrel of crude oil?

Nobody has said any different. Your two assertions there are accepted by all.

Now about your assertions that have been contradicted, and your conclusions shown to not follow, and your reasoning shown faulty - - - responses, any?

I wish.

Now about your assertions that have been contradicted, and your conclusions shown to not follow, and your reasoning shown faulty - - - responses, any?

You haven't reasonably contradicted any of my claims.

 

[spidergoat]

All of this is merely academic in relation to the oil crisis. If current reserves took millions of years to fill and less than a hundred to drain by about half, then it won't make any difference where the oil comes from. The important thing is the rate.

 

[Buffalo Roam]

The White Tiger oilfield is at a depth of 5,000 meters (approximately 3 miles), of which 4,000 meters (about 2.5 miles) is fractured granite basement. How can the "Fossil-Fuel" theory possibly explain finding oil at these deep levels in granite rock?

16,400ft. deep well 13120ft. into granite basement, so were did the oil come from?

 

[iceaura]

I wish.

? I haven't seen any disagreement.

Everyone here agrees that oil has been found in pools within igneous rock formations.

Do you know what a "microfossil" is? It's rock - not even carbon based, necessarily. No one here has claimed such is often turned into hycrocarbons, or a source of commercial oil.

You haven't reasonably contradicted any of my claims.

You claimed no fossils below 7500 feet. People have pointed out microfossils far below that. You claimed no organic residue below 7500 feet, and not enough biolocical material ever available to account for the quantities of oil discovered. I pointed out limestone deep enough to metamorphose, and lots of it. You made a list of deep oil wells - several of them were not that deep. And so forth.

16,400ft. deep well 13120ft. into granite basement, so were did the oil come from?

You ask that as if there were no answer. Oil prospectors have been tracing deposits and striking oil that has moved miles from its source; up, down, and sideways through fractured rock and porous materials. Oil has been discovered below layers of nonsedimentary "basement" rock, arrived there through various circumstances. I don't see your point.

 

[OilIsMastery]

Do you know what a "microfossil" is? It's rock - not even carbon based, necessarily. No one here has claimed such is often turned into hycrocarbons, or a source of commercial oil.

So why do you keep bringing them up?

You claimed no fossils below 7500 feet. People have pointed out microfossils far below that.

If you can provide links of fossils deeper than the ones I've shown please do so.

You claimed no organic residue below 7500 feet

7,500 feet below the mudline. If you can provide a link that shows otherwise please do so and I shall stand corrected.

and not enough biolocical material ever available to account for the quantities of oil discovered. I pointed out limestone deep enough to metamorphose, and lots of it.

Link please.

You made a list of deep oil wells - several of them were not that deep. And so forth.

Every well I posted is an ultradeep well past the biogenic "oil window" of 15,000 feet.

Another unexpected find was a menagerie of microscopic fossils as deep as 6.7 kilometers below the surface. Twenty-four distinct species of plankton microfossils were found, and they were discovered to have carbon and nitrogen coverings rather than the typical limestone or silica. Despite the harsh environment of heat and pressure, the microscopic remains were remarkably intact.

Link please.

Limestone is a fair percentage of the earth's crust, and metamorphic rock from limestone deep enough to metamorphose is even more of it. What do you need a link for, exactly ?

The offshore wells are deeper than the Kola Superdeep Borehole. The Kola Superdeep Borehole was only the deepest in 1994. The Kola Superdeep Borehole proves abiogenic petroleum origin.

According to your article the microfossils were found 4.16 miles deep on land in thick crust.

Another unexpected find was a menagerie of microscopic fossils as deep as 6.7 kilometers below the surface. Twenty-four distinct species of plankton microfossils were found

But the offshore wells are deeper than that because as the article points out:

Today, the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program seeks to penetrate the much thinner crust of the ocean floor to probe the Earth's lower crust.

So? They don't drill oil wells on land?

The offshore wells are deeper.
