Pohlman Reviews Theories On Natural Gas Origin
In a paper on The Geology of Natural Gas Dr. Pohlman surveys arguments that gas may form from water and carbonic acid decomposition but concludes the chemical infinite supply idea is untrue. He cites Prof. Lesley who calls the gas spurts a temporary phenomenon and predicts end of gas supply sooner than oil. Prof. Carll supports limited Pittsburgh deposits that will exhaust with overdrilling, per the Buffalo Courier.
