How much abiotic oil is there really? Unknown but we know with absolute, proven/confirmed certainty that there is way more methane/natural gas being produced abiotically from the earth itself.
Indisputable!
They don't want you to know this or else............you would know this.
This should have been the top story for every news outlet at least several times the last few years!!!!
Abiotic sources of methane have been found in more than 20 countries and in several deep ocean regions so far.
"We have clear and growing evidence of abiotic methane on Earth. What is not clear is how much there is. These investigations have found incredible complexity in the way methane is produced, and these complexities connect inorganic and organic chemistry on Earth in fascinating ways."
Adds Dr. Young: "We went into this project thinking we knew how abiotic methane formed. What we're learning is that it is much more complicated, and the biggest key is hydrogen. With greater understanding of how rocks make the hydrogen from which methane derives, and how fast this reaction happens, we'll be a lot closer to knowing how much methane there is on Earth."
Jesse Ausubel of The Rockefeller University in New York notes that the popular definition of "fossil fuel" doesn't cover abiotic methane.
"Thousands of samples from many settings tested with super-sensitive instruments are producing a global picture of the abundances and fluxes of deep energy. Much of the very deep hydrocarbons is not conventional fossil fuel, as popularly defined."
The behaviors of biotic and abiotic methane, it should be noted, in terms of energy output and emissions when burned, are indistinguishable.
Key findings to date:
Future implications:
These investigations into how abiotic methane forms on Earth are not the end of the story, but rather the beginning.
The last 10 years have seen transformational changes in our understanding of the origins of methane on Earth and its pivotal role in sustaining the deep biosphere, providing a glimpse into the geological processes that could have set the stage for life.
With these new discoveries, we are poised to answer numerous big questions, such as:
The success of the project's research has not only changed perceptions of energy generation in deep Earth, but also about how life may have found a foothold on our planet.
And if abiotic energy does occur on Earth, how likely is it that similar reactions and life have occurred elsewhere in the cosmos?
This Deep Energy research released today is a result of the Deep Carbon Observatory program, which will issue its final report in October 2019 after a decade of work by a global community of more than 1000 scientists to better understand the quantities, movements, forms, and origins of carbon inside Earth.
Abiotic theory for the origin of fossils fuels is now massively proven and the many hundreds of articles that have been written stating why its not possible still pollute peoples minds and steal their intelligence on the internet.

Overview
The Deep Carbon Observatory (DCO) is a ten-year research program to investigate the quantities, movements, forms, and origins of carbon in Earth. More than 90% of Earth’s carbon may reside in the planet’s deep interior, and DCO’s overarching mission is to understand Earth’s entire carbon cycle—beyond the atmosphere, oceans, and shallow crustal environments, which have drawn most previous research attention—to include the deep carbon cycle [1,2]. A decade of focused research has led to major discoveries by DCO scientists on the physical, chemical, and biological roles of carbon in Earth.
metmike: Like has happened most days for numerous hours, the last 2+ months, somebody(s) is attacking our site this evening and causing huge delays in the response of up to a minute to discourage people from reading and/or posting here. I lost our tech support last year and haven't heard from Kate, the owner in 3 years.
So congratulations to whoever is doing this. I can't stop you!
The delay is not your computer or this site. It's the attack on us.
During half the day, everything works great with no delay's. It's most often in the evening. For over a month, it was almost exactly from 6p-Midnight Central every day. In February, though its most likely then, it also happens earlier in the day sometimes.

Like many issues, politics play a major role in the abiotic versus biotic oil formation argument. Until recent decades, the main argument propelling each was the supposedly limited supply of fossil fuel available. For those pumping it from the ground, limiting supply has financial gain. For politicians, a limited supply can be used to control people and as justification for actions like war. An unlimited supply, on the other hand, means that we need not worry about running out, that we ought to be able to drill for more oil and increase the daily supply so as to decrease price, and so forth.
The arguments above, however, have been pushed aside in recent years by fears that global warming is directly attributable to carbon dioxide produced by burning hydrocarbons. If this is true, it doesn’t matter if oil is limited or not because using it is causing immense damage.
In the end, science will settle the debate, but what science gets funded is directly related to which politicians are in power and who is footing the bill. At some point we will know the definitive answers to questions about the origin of oil and to questions about the impact of CO2 on the environment.
