In the Name of the Profit. Liberated Syrian Town Reveals ISIS Oil Trade Secrets. Episode 310 – How Big Oil Conquered The World. Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to dinner plate, pipeline to plastic product, it is impossible to think of an area of our modern-day lives that is not affected by the oil industry. The story of oil is the story of the modern world. And this is the story of those who helped shape that world, and how the oil-igarchy they created is on the verge of monopolizing life itself.

Parts of that story are well-known: Rockefeller and Standard Oil; the internal combustion engine and the transformation of global transport; the House of Saud and the oil wars in the Middle East.

But that story, properly told, begins somewhere unexpected. “Dr. Titusville, 1857. MUST-SEE DOCUMENTARY: How Big Oil Conquered the World. Fossil Fuels Without the Fossils? New Research Says It's Possible. Abiogenic petroleum origin. Fringe theory about the origin of petroleum Overview hypotheses[edit] Some abiogenic hypotheses have proposed that oil and gas did not originate from fossil deposits, but have instead originated from deep carbon deposits, present since the formation of the Earth.[5] The abiogenic hypothesis regained some support in 2009 when researchers at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm reported they believed they had proven that fossils from animals and plants are not necessary for crude oil and natural gas to be generated.[6][7] History[edit] An abiogenic hypothesis was first proposed by Georgius Agricola in the 16th century and various additional abiogenic hypotheses were proposed in the 19th century, most notably by Prussian geographer Alexander von Humboldt (1804), the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev (1877)[8] and the French chemist Marcellin Berthelot.

Astronomer Thomas Gold was a prominent proponent of the abiogenic hypothesis in the West until his death in 2004. [edit] The Mysterious Origin and Supply of Oil. It runs modern society and fuels serious political tension. But where does oil really come from, and how much is left? The far-out possibilities might surprise you. Nature has been transmuting dead life into black gold for millions of years using little more than heat, pressure and time, scientists tell us. But with gas prices spiking more than $1 per gallon in the United States this year and some experts predicting that the end of oil is near, scientists still don't know for sure where oil comes from, how long it took to make, or how much there is. A so-called fossil fuel, petroleum is believed by most scientists to be the transformed remains of long dead organisms.

"Even some of the dinosaurs may have gotten involved in some of this," says William Thomas, a geologists at the University of Kentucky. But another theory holds that more oil was in Earth from the beginning than what's been produced by dead animals, but that we've yet to tap it. How it works So how long does this process take?

Ø | January 6, 2015 Are you sitting well...here it goes... DonS | January 6, 2015 And Pluto is not a planet. Look info it my friend... Grinnin'.VA | January 6, 2015 I'm quite certain that in the last century plenty organic chemists have analyzed the chemical content of oil. Now this guy from the railroad industry, who admittedly isn't a trained geologist or chemist of any kind announces that the scientific isn't correct. That isn't the way science works. Anyway, who cares? BTW, if this railroad guy is so sure that oil is plentiful and cheap, why didn't he find some venture capital and form a new oil business to tap into that seemingly endless oil supply and sell it at about half the prices being charged by existing oil companies. I was a bit a of smart aleck above because the classification of crude oil is irrelevant to it's usefulness.

Brian H | January 6, 2015 So what? Russians & NASA Discredit 'Fossil Fuel' Theory: Demise of Junk CO2 Science | Principia Scientific Intl. Last week new NASA photographs proved methane lakes exist on Saturn's moon, Titan, showing that such hydrocarbons (or so-called 'fossil fuels') are seemingly plentiful in our solar system. This startling discovery turns on its head the long-held western belief that petroleum is a limited resource, because it is primarily derived (we had been told) from the fossilized remains of dead dinosaurs and rotted carbon-based vegetation. But with that notion now exploded in the article 'NASA Finds Lakes of Hydrocarbons on Saturn's Moon, Titan' thanks to NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, energy scientists are now compelled to admit that petroleum oil is, in fact, substantially mineral in origin and occuring all through the galaxies.

Two Years ago it was reported that the Max Planck Institute, Germany have discovered that the Horse Head Nebula galaxy in the Orion constellation contains a vast field of hydrocarbon (see 'Top German Scientists Discover 'Fossil Fuel' in the Stars'). Repositioning Theory as Fact. Actualidad.rt. Este conjunto de mapas (publicados por el portal 'GlobalPost') dan respuesta a estas preguntas sobre los mayores productores y consumidores de petróleo, gas y carbón, y ofrecen más información sobre los recursos energéticos. Petróleo: consumo Estados Unidos representa el 20,7% del consumo mundial de petróleo con 18.490 barriles diarios, casi el doble del consumo de China (11,5%), el segundo mayor consumidor de petróleo. Lo preocupante de este escenario es que China y Estados Unidos no producen ni de lejos suficiente petróleo para satisfacer sus necesidades petroleras.

Les siguen en la lista Japón (5,3%), India (4,1%) y Rusia (3,6%). Mientras India y Rusia han mantenido relativamente el mismo nivel de consumo durante los últimos 20 años, el consumo de petróleo de China ha aumentado significativamente en la última década. Petróleo: producción Los siguientes en la lista son China (4,9%), Canadá (4,3%) e Irán (4), mientras que México ocupa el noveno lugar con el 3,3%. Gas natural: consumo.
