Origin of Petroleum: Mineral Origin Theory Proposed
Professor Mendeleeff advances that petroleum forms from mineral processes below the earth’s crust. Water descends to meet metal carbides, producing gases, with hydrogen forming oil and natural gas at depth. Oil-bearing zones lie near mountains where strata shifts allow water access. A bore-hole would release stored gas or oil.
