A fast paced explanation of how many oil and gas deposits form and how we explore for them.
10 cze 2008 · This animated video demonstrates the formation of hydrocarbons over millions of years in the depths of the Earth. Oil and gas forms in sedimentary ocean basins. Dead plankton (organic plant and animal material) gets deposited together with mud, sand and other sediments.
To form oil, the following steps have to happen: 1. Dead plankton - both phytoplankton and zooplankton - as well as algae and bacteria sink to the bottom of an ancient ocean and mix with inorganic, clay-like materials that enter these oceans from streams and rivers.
10 cze 2008 · Carbon is released from kerogen when the source rock is buried. Burying a rock submits it to both pressure and temperature. As the temperature changes, different compounds are released from the kerogen in the source rock. Initially, it is water and carbon dioxide, then oil and, last, natural gas.
2 sty 2024 · Oil is generated when the kerogen temperature reaches 60-120 °C; at higher temperatures, it is mainly gas that is generated. As oil and gas form, they seep out of the source rock. Because hydrocarbons are lighter than water, the oil and gas migrate upwards in porous water-bearing rock.
