The entire process is surprisingly straightforward. A mixture of wet algae, water, and other materials is subjected to a temperature of 350°C and a pressure of 20 MPa for nearly 60 minutes, resulting in the production of combustible hydrocarbons.

This process mimics some of the conditions that originally transformed prehistoric plant material into fossil fuels deep underground – high pressure and temperatures.

But, with the world awash in hydrocarbons it will not happen on any industrial scale.

Yep. Its not much more complicated than pressing out olive oil. Some people are hyper invested loons tho.

Safe travels.

Not analogous. We don't already have Mars here on earth.

This is a meme that apparently circulated on FB. The term fossil fuels was created not because hydrocarbons come from dinosaurs but to create the illusion of scarcity. 

Sinclair Oil helped popularize the term.

If you're still tore up about it, rent a diving bell and release some colored veggie oil at the bottom of the Gulf, then time its ascent.

He don't seem like a fella interested in facts. He decides something despite science and works backwards.

And then there are the obvious contradictions. Even if he actually believes we will exhaust all oil and gas reserves both proven and as yet unexploited at current rates of production and consumption why would he want to transition to energy sources that are a lot more finite.

I aint picking on him because that is the NDP and Liberal parties of Canada. Oil and natural gas are running out so we should transition to wind solar and batteries that come from real finite resources. It makes no sense. But, that is North America's prog parties for ya.

Best get to testing the travel time of oil from the bottom of the ocean!

Quote from: Lokmar on November 06, 2025, 01:16:24 PMGet to it then! Lemme know how it works out.

BTW, A.I. sez:
Steam vent temperatures in the Gulf of California can reach up to 287°C (\(549\degree F\)) or potentially higher, though they vary depending on the specific vent field. For example, vents in the Pescadero Basin have been measured at up to \(291\degree C\) (\(556\degree F\)). These temperatures are high, but the water does not boil due to the extreme pressure at the seafloor depth

So what exactly did you intend to write? It's forming but not daily but it's bubbling daily"?

And now it's Texas and not California?

Why didn't you write that in the first place?

Do you see what I mean about your posts being unclear?

Oil is created continuously at the bottom of the Gulf of California.

It is impossible to say how long it took for the oil we pump out of the ground in Texas to form.

Quote from: wizer on November 06, 2025, 11:25:16 AMIf it's impossible to prove that oil is created in a day from the bottom of the Gulf of California then why do you keep saying oil is created in a day at the bottom of the Gulf of California?

WUT?

It is impossible to say how long it took for the oil we pump out of the ground in Texas to form.

It is very possible that it took a very short time for old oil deposits to form because we can see that oil is produced quickly at the bottom of the Gulf of California.

Millions of years are not required for oil to be created.

Quote from: Lokmar on November 06, 2025, 11:23:47 AMIts impossible to prove one way or the other as nobody can take measurements from 1 million BC. However, its a fact that oil forms in much less than a year under the conditions mentioned at the bottom of the Gulf of California.
