It also seems to be full of magnetite from what I gather, from which it would need separating.<BR/><BR/>I am beginning to speculate that there may be different origins of petroleum - some from the near surface decay of plant and animal remains and some from the lower depths probably formed from bacterial action.<BR/><BR/>I guess there is a limit below which oil will not be found, as it would be too hot, but there may be gas.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the book you sent me has arrived! Something for me to read over the Christmas holidays, I think!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Chris.Professor Chris Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060542089215379056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-30986194481853620382007-11-24T13:34:00.000+00:002007-11-24T13:34:00.000+00:00More on abiotic oil:http://www.gasresources.net/to...More on abiotic oil:<BR/><BR/>http://www.gasresources.net/toc_PetGeol.htm<BR/><BR/>http://www.freeenergynews.com/Directory/Theory/SustainableOil/<BR/><BR/>The mind boggles! But there are other scarcities - rare metals, etc. squandered during the Cheap Oil era - that oil can't replace.<BR/><BR/>So that era may have put limits on the future development of any similar economic models. The "cost of opportunity" (1030 Google hits, some quite fascinating) grinds on.<BR/>Enjoy!<BR/>SustainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
