Harzburgite Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Zohaar, for the third time"Returning to your initial post. Would you care to explain why the majority of wells that have been drilled some time ago run dry? Why fields have a finite productive life? Why the few instances where production has increased may be attributed to replenishment via fault line?If your contention is that the process of re-generation takes an extended period of time then how can it solve the supply problem as you imply in this quote? If it occurs rapidly enough to ensure an adequate supply then why do we not see reservoirs routinely recharging?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1ay Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 I am at a loss to understand the purpose of your post 82. Why? It's easy to understand. Zohaar cannot support his claim and he continuously tries to divert the conversation with prevarication. He simply doesn't realize that any proof that abiotic oil could exist does not disprove the existance of biotic oil. He has made the claim that there is no biotic oil and he can't support it. This is typical of those that want you to believe things on faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkt Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Zohar, you make some good points, but there is no way that you can compare deep space with even the environment on earth, let alone the temperatures and pressures under the crust. It is fairly obvious that methane, which is a simple molecule, has very different properties in all areas c.f. long chain hydrocarbons such as pentane or hexane, even without the heavier tars found in crude oil. Conversion from plant life and animal life has been proven by radioisotope study, and is also borne out by the chiral structures found. Finally, if oil was/is "growing" underground, how do you explain coal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queztacotl Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 In my knowledge: Oil is a non-renewable source.Non-Renewable sources are fossil fuels.Therefore oil is a fossil fuel.This is basic information, no point in discussing lies anymore, so pls stop it!!!

FrankM Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Being at the "triple point" for these hydrocarbons makes it possible for Titan to have methane or ethane cycles, much like Earth's water cycle.http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20050627/titanlake.html There is slightly different content in a Space News article posted by Tormond.http://hypography.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3075 The following article provides some interesting relationships on the isotopes of Nitrogen present throughout the solar system, which might be relevant as to why there is so much methane on Titan. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~genchem/0405/winter/5winn/lecture/isotopes.html All compounds progress from the least complex to ever more complicated forms and I suspect we have not identified all the natural processes that produce the currently identified end forms.
