Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a seminal work in the nascent field of the geology of petroleum, explores the critical questions related to the presence of mineral oil within the Earth's crust. The author, a respected geologist, elucidates the fundamental geological principles that govern the presence and formation of petroleum in strata. The author begins by examining the two contrasting theories about the origin of petroleum: organic and inorganic. The inorganic theories, largely based on chemical analysis with little field verification, posit that petroleum forms deep within the Earth's mantle. The author methodically refutes these theories, arguing instead that exhaustive field evidence points to an organic origin from plant and animal matter. The book's core explores the complex processes of petroleum migration, filtration, and storage, phenomena that have long baffled scientists. The author painstakingly presents his theory of hydrocarbon migration, supported by field studies and practical examples. He details the characteristics of various types of geological structures, including anticlines and domes, which act as natural reservoirs for petroleum. The author skillfully weaves together geological evidence, chemical knowledge, and practical observation to present a comprehensive and cohesive understanding of the geology of petroleum. His work has greatly contributed to the field of petroleum exploration, serving as a reference point for geologists and industry professionals alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
