Proponents of abiotic oil like to point out that although Russia’s oil production peaked in 1987, their output has increased tremendously over the past several years. They link this to the Russian development of the abiotic oil hypothesis, which is held by a small minority of Russian scientists, to claim that Russia’s production is growing because of abiotic oil. This is nonsense. In the first place, Russian oil production dropped precipitously in the early 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The current surge in oil production is in large part due to the revival of the Russian oil industry. Oil is just about the only thing currently holding up the Russian economy. They are overproducing their oil fields and, as we have said numerous times, this overproduction will catch up with them. Russian discovery peaked in 1960, and has since diminished to almost nothing. Colin Campbell’s model suggested a secondary peak around 2010, followed by another steep decline due to overproduction.21 However, it now appears the Russian production is already approaching its second peak.
Or this from the same article taken from the Moscow News.
The Moscow News has reported that Yuri Shafranik, the head of the Russian Union of Oil and Gas Producers, stated on November 9th 2004 that Russia has almost reached its maximum production and the decline will start within two years. Mr. Shafranik referred to experts from the International Energy Agency.22 The Moscow News also recently reported that Russian oil producers have cut back on drilling. Production drilling fell by 3.4% in the first nine months of 2004, while exploratory drilling fell by 20.6%.23 Such a large drop in exploratory drilling could indicate that investors see a trend of diminishing returns from further exploration.
Then theirs the Carbon Logic. Life is full of Carbon, it’s the backbone of most Biological structures. But there is not too much Carbon in rocks. In fact, early Iron making processes added Iron Ore (Rock) to a carbon source (Usually wood) because the rock didn’t have any to absorb the Iron Oxides. So If theirs no Carbon in the rock, where do you get the Carbon for the Oil? Now don’t go quoting Volcanoes at me. That is can all be explained by the Tectonic theory of melting continental rock outgassing the biological carbon downwind of a Subduction zone. The mid ocean ridge volcanoes outgas very little carbon.
Now you still haven’t answered up to my challenge, if your so sure that oil is abiotic, put your money up, go drill a hole around Titusville. Find me the oil there.
Now, please don’t hassle my spelling. I know I can’t spell, I failed 6th form english at school, I’m also a 1 finger typist normally. However, I passed science in the top 5 percent, and whats more I can string a sentence together without cutting & pasting 90% of it & not insulting readers on every word I do type myself.
I challenge you to support your own theory with a reference.
I looked up what you have "written" here and strangly it seemed to pop up almost word for word on a number of other sites. Is this your work? or have you plagerised someone else? On everyone of those sites it still read like a spoilt child who desperatly wants to believe that dispite the fire slowly engulfing their house they will still have all their toys to play with in the morning.
Besides which very few knowledable people seriously believe the end of cheap oil is the end of civilisation. I have faith in people. I have faith in the logic of Supply & Demand. When oil starts getting expensive, people will switch to a cheaper fuel. I’m expecting the majority will switch at first to LPG or CNG, but those with a bit of land, or perhaps a bent for the unusual will experiment with other fuels. Alchol made with sugars & solar heat, Hydrogen made from sunlight & water for the Spark ignition engine. Biological oils for the deisel & gas turbine engines. Intersting sideline for this would be the end of that horible kero smell from planes & trucks, they will instead smell like the local fish & chip shop. Plastics can be made from any source of heat & a carbon source. My bet would be wind turbines poping up around a plastics plant to make hydrogen & bioligical oil crops all around their bases. Iceland already makes non oil or natural gas based Amonia fertilisers from electrolysed water. The power goes from Geothermal power. And electric power in most developed countries uses very little oil, and has done since the oil crissis of the 70s, far too volatile a market. But everywhere we look we’re ignoring potential energy sources. Geothermal, solar, wind, grass clipping, anywhere there is a temperature difference is a potential source of power. When oil starts to get expensive, these will all be looked at by someone.
