Why It Is So Difficult To Put This Genie (Oil & Gas) Back In The Bottle (Macondo Prospect)
Hes out in more ways than one and we speak particularly of the raging debate regarding the
abiogenic origin of petroleum. Lets let the real experts tell us the real story about where oil and gas
really come from. Highly esteemed Russian scientist and researcher, Dmitri Mendeleev, is described
as follows by Wikipedia. Perhaps we ought to listen carefully to him.
Mendeleev made other important contributions to chemistry. The Russian chemist and science
historian L.A. Tchugayev has characterized him as a chemist of genius, first-class physicist, a
fruitful researcher in the fields of hydrodynamics, meteorology, geology, certain branches of
chemical technology (explosives, petroleum, and fuels, for example) and other disciplines adjacent
to chemistry and physics, a thorough expert of chemical industry and industry in general, and an
original thinker in the field of economy. Mendeleev was one of the founders, in 1869, of the
Russian Chemical Society.
Heres what Dmitri Mendeleev (credited with the creation of the original Periodic Table of
Elements) has to say about the abiogenic source of hydrocarbons in his tract entitled THE ORIGIN
OF PETROLEUM:
The capital fact to note is that petroleum was born in the depths of the Earth, and it is only there
that we must seek its origin. (D. Mendeleev, 1877){{ref|Mendeleev}}
Mendeleev, D., 1877. LOrigine du ptrole. Revue Scientifique, second series, VIII, p. 409416
His authoritative enunciation of the abiotic nature and abiogenic origin of petroleum is included in
the following link:
An introduction to the modern petroleum science, and to the Russian-Ukrainian theory of
deep, abiotic petroleum origins.
The following link provides a brief history of the Abiogenic Theory of Petroleum:

HISTORY OF ABIOGENIC THEORY:
The abiogenic petroleum theory was founded upon several old interpretations of geology which
stem from early 19th century notions of magmatism (which at the time was attributed to sulfur fires
and bitumen burning underground) and of petroleum, which was seen by many to fuel volcanoes.
Indeed, Wernerian appreciation of basalts at times saw them as solidified oils or bitumen. While
these notions have been disabused, the basic notion that petroleum is associated with magmatism
has persisted. The chief proponents of what would become the abiogenic theory were Mendeleev[5]
and Berthelot.
Russian geologist Nikolai Alexandrovitch Kudryavtsev was the first to propose the modern abiotic
theory of petroleum in 1951. He analyzed the geology of the Athabasca Tar Sands in Alberta,
Canada and concluded that no source rocks could form the enormous volume of hydrocarbons
(estimated today 1.7 trillions barrels), and that therefore the most plausible explanation is abiotic
deep petroleum. However, humic coals have been proposed for the source rocks by Stanton (2005).

Although this theory is supported by geologists in Russia and Ukraine, it has recently begun to
receive attention in the West, where the biogenic petroleum theory is accepted by the vast majority
of petroleum geologists. Kudryavtsevs work was continued by many Russian researchers Petr N.
Kropotkin, Vladimir B. Porfirev, Emmanuil B. Chekaliuk, Vladilen A. Krayushkin, Georgi E.
Boyko, Georgi I. Voitov, Grygori N. Dolenko, Iona V. Greenberg, Nikolai S. Beskrovny, Victor F.
Linetsky and many others.
Astrophysicist Thomas Gold 1 was one of the abiogenic theorys most prominent proponents in
recent years in the West, until his death in 2004. Dr. Jack Kenney of Gas Resources Corporation[6]
[7][8] is perhaps the foremost proponent in the West. The theory receives continued attention in the
media as well as in scientific publications.
FOUNDATIONS OF THE HYPOTHESIS:
Within the mantle, carbon may exist as hydrocarbon molecules, chiefly methane, and as elemental
carbon, carbon dioxide and carbonates. The abiotic hypothesis is that a full suite of hydrocarbons
found in petroleum can be generated in the mantle by abiogenic processes,8 and these
hydrocarbons can migrate out of the mantle into the crust until they escape to the surface or are
trapped by impermeable strata, forming petroleum reservoirs.
Abiogenic theories reject the supposition that certain molecules found within petroleum, known as
biomarkers, are indicative of the biological origin of petroleum. They contend that some of these
molecules could have come from the microbes that the petroleum encounters in its upward
migration through the crust, and that some of them are found in meteorites, which have presumably
never contacted living material, and that some can be generated by plausible reactions in
petroleum abiogenically.
The hypothesis stated above is founded primarily upon the following conclusive and quite
compelling evidence:

Another important exposition on the matter comes from Samar Abbas, Institute of Physics, as well
as the Dept. of Physics at Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, India and his paper entitled:
NON-ORGANIC THEORY OF THE GENESIS OF PETROLEUM, which can be found at:

The following blog presents additional information which invalidates the conventionally held
fossil fuel hypothesis. After having been artificially propped up for so many years by scientists,
academics and especially oil and gas industry geologists, who have known the obvious truth about
the source and nature of oil all along, the aforementioned Russian and Ukrainian scientists have
debunked it with finality.

The blog below entitled Abiotic Oil The Secret of the BP Oil Spill ought to have gone one
step further to point out that all oil is abiotic in nature and abiogenic in origin. And that those
deposits found in the more shallow areas of the earths crust, where most of the drilling and
extraction have been conducted historically, are not any different in nature or source because of
their more superficial geological location.
****************** Abiotic Oil The Secret of the BP Oil Spill ******************
As usual, here is the place where you get the unfettered truth about whats going on in the world,
and today I will pull back the curtains on the BP oil leak and what will go down as one of the most
important discoveries of the 21st century that oil is abiotic produced inside the Earth and is not
simply rotting dinosaurs and old plants (aka fossil fuel).
The amount of oil seeping into the Gulf of Mexico, at this very moment, emerges from an *ocean*
of oil that is almost as large as the Gulf itself! This ocean of oil didnt appear there because it was a
giant fish graveyard. It was not a prehistoric jungle 20 miles high and 500 miles wide. This oil is
abiotic oil and is produced by geological actions in the earth itself. Abiotic oil is created by intense
pressures on carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur. The sort of pressures required to create oil are
natural as one gets down a certain depth under the heavy crust and in the upper layers of the mantle.
In some ways oil is the natural lubrication system for the crust and the upper layers of the mantle as
it shifts and orbits the planets core.
The best think-tanks have known this for several decades now and have kept it hush hush to keep
prices of oil high and help the oil industry. This was necessary because oil companies have huge
assets and those assets are put to good use in infrastructure, research and development in more than
simple oil production. Capitalism requires that certain commodities be given a value above and
beyond the cost of procurement. Now that we have a leak which will not be able to be plugged, its
time to prepare and explain what exactly is going on with the Deep Horizon well and why it is
almost impossible to cap that Genie back in the bottle.

The underground oil oceans are under far more pressure than their ground well brethren and contain
much more oil. At the depth of the Deep Horizon well, one mile under the sea, the per inch pressure
is 2640 pounds per square inch. The ocean floor in these locations is very dense and can contain the
underground oil oceans. Even so, in the Gulf, an Exxon Valdez size amount of oil naturally seeps
into the Gulf every year. This under crust oil is seeping into all the oceans, but the Gulf, due to its
size and geographic position, makes the seepage measurable
The typical cures are not working and they will not work. Think how much pressure this
underground oil must exist with to support the thin crust between it and the ocean! The odds are the
Gulfs underground oil ocean exists between 15,000 and 30,000 psi at all points. Most oil
equipment is not made to handle the upper end of this pressure spectrum. So caps blow off, plugs
fail and almost nothing can stem the flow of oil now merging an ocean of oil and the Gulf of
Mexico.
The two relief wells now being drilled are probably not a good idea, because, unlike a ground well,
this may not divide the pressure and create 3 wells with manageable 5,000 psi flows. In fact,
depending on the size of this ocean of oil, twenty or thirty relief wells might still only bring the psi
down to 10,000! So the relief wells may just create 3 leaks where there was one before. If this is the
case, BP seriously needs to fire their current geologists and hire some of the Russian abiotic oil
scientists to assist them in corralling the flow from this oil ocean. Watch the news, and hope that BP
actually understands what it is dealing with because the relief well option illustrates some of the
senior geologists at BP do/did not think the oil is abiotic. If, in August, when the relief wells are
finished and we have 3 leaks in lieu of one you will understand why. After reading this you will
know more than the BP geologists

Lets reconsider our introduction to this tutorial of sorts in light of the wisdom that has been offered
by some of the greatest scientists and researchers of our age.
The suggestion that petroleum might have arisen from some transformation of squashed fish
or biological detritus is surely the silliest notion to have been entertained by substantial
numbers of persons over an extended period of time.
Fred Hoyle, 1982
(an English astronomer noted primarily for his contribution to the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis)
In conclusion, petroleum is clearly not a fossil fuel as we have been taught by our modern science
classes. Nor is it created in the manner that we have been led to believe. Peak Oil is a product of the
Oil and Gas Industry whose agendas are outworking throughout the planetary landscape with
awesome consequence and, in many cases, non-remediable global environmental damage.
The $64K question is, What in the world are we going to do about it? And do fast, before its
too late!
