How is oil made?

[wrag]

Been seeing stuff like this since around 1984?

And I SEEM to recall one of those national Geo specials where they reported finding chemicals/organisms  coming out of a spout like thing on the sea floor and turning into oil as they died?

The point was that the latest research is pointing at oil being something that our planet creates normally and many of the old oil deposits that were depleted should be refilling?

Oh, I'm sorry. You said just one.

[lazs2]

Name one the we have run out of.

You are naming species.. they come and go with or without us.  it is a survival thing.

Name a mineral that we have run out of.  One that we have "used up".

lazs

[Tac]

oil is not a mineral.


What you are losing is the energy stored in the oil. You dont lose the minerals that make it up, but you do lose the energy stored in it.

[rpm]

Tell ya what Lazs, you come show me how to refill these Texas oil wells and I'll name a mineral we ran out of.

I could make a killing in Burkburnett, Odessa and Beaumont.

Not a criticism of the science or the idea, but...those articles are poorly written, containing several grammatical and factual errors.  They also seem to not understand some of the basic science going on here.  They need to fire their editor(s).

However, it is possible to create hydrocarbons from carbon sources other than dead organic matter.  This is not a new idea, and neither explanation/hypothesis invalidates the other.  

Now the interesting question (at both a scientific and economic level) is what is the rate of production of oil?

Yeah your right, everything will last forever, we'll never run out of anything, the magic oil fairy will just replace it all.

Do you ever answer questions that are posed?  

Or is the smart bellybutton response all you are capable of?

Wow you just seem to be obsessed with me and my post, but I gotta tell ya I don't go that way so your out of luck.
