Of the modern theory

In the 50's and 60's. XX century. in the USSR (NA Kudryavtsev, VB porphyry, N. Dolenko etc.) and abroad (the British scientist F. Hoyle and others) revived the various hypotheses of the inorganic (cosmic, volcanic, magmatic) origin of oil . However, in the 6th (1963), 7th (1967) and 8th (1971) International...

Background on the modern theory

Milestones in the long process of scientific solution of the question of the origin of oil identified by Russian scientists. For the first time in 1763 Lomonosov suggested origin of oil from plant residues undergoing carbonization and pressure in the Earth's layers. These ideas are far ahead of University...

Oil origin

Oil - the result lithogenesis. It is a liquid (basically) a hydrophobic phase products fossilization (disposal) of organic matter (kerogen) in the water-sediment in anoxic conditions.Oil formation - the step-wise, very long (typically 50-350 Ma) [1], a process that begins as early as living matter....

Petroleum geology

Enclosing rocks of oil have relatively high porosity and sufficient to eject permeability. Breed, allowing free movement and accumulation in these fluids are called collectors. Porosity depends on all sorted grains, their shape and styling, as well as on the presence of cement. Permeability determined...

Oil properties

Physical propertiesOil - the liquid from light brown (almost colorless) to dark brown (almost black) color (even though there are examples of emerald-green oil). The average molecular weight of 220-300 g / mol (rare 450-470). Density 0,65-1,05 (0,82-0,95 usually) g / cm ³; oil whose density is lower...

Oil

Natural oil oily flammable liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds. In color, the oil is red-brown, sometimes almost black in color, although sometimes there and poorly painted in yellow-green color and even colorless oil, has a peculiar smell, common in sedimentary...
