Episode Synopsis


The Podcast explains the abiogenic oil hypothesis, which argues that oil and natural gas formed inorganically rather than from the decomposition of ancient plants and animals. This hypothesis suggests that oil and natural gas were formed under high temperatures and pressures deep within the Earth's crust, potentially from volcanic activity or geothermal heat. The article discusses several scientific arguments supporting this hypothesis, but also acknowledges its limitations in explaining certain aspects of oil and gas formation.
