A critical analysis of the origin of petroleum. The abiogenic and biogenic theory
About this book
Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Chemistry - Other, grade: 87.125%, University of Ghana, Legon, language: English, abstract: The controversy faced with the origin of petroleum is still an ongoing debate. The people who have carried out research demonstrated that at least some of the chemistry of the abiogenic theory can occur within the earth and if it proves to be the correct mechanism, it could explain the abundance of oil within the earth as well as offering the hope of much more remains and that it is possible to replenish the oil supplies. But this does not suffice as proof as the one and only mechanism for the formation of oil either.
The biogenic (fossil) theory advocates have exhibited solid evidences on their side but on the other hand, the followers of abiogenic theory also have important evidences which cannot be denied. There is clearly no doubt that Sedimentary rocks that have been formed without no involvement of these abiotic hydrocarbons are suitable form commercial hydrocarbons deposits and thereby lead to dry holes. They concluded that abiotic sources are the major contributor in the commercial accumulations of hydrocarbons. But a well-balanced theory should be a major requirement which will help future hydrocarbon exploration efficiently.
