Supergiant oil and gas fields          
                                                      
      
  Russian geologist Nikolai Alexandrovitch Kudryavtsev was a prominent advocate of the Abiogenic Theory. He presented many examples of that, substantial and sometimes commercial quantities of hydrocarbons were found in the basement crystalline rocks or in sediments directly to them overlapping.
   He cited cases in Kansas and California (United States), in western Venezuela and Morocco. He also indicated that the oil reservoirs in sedimentary strata are often related to significant deep fractures in the basement immediately below these accumulations. This is also evidenced in the supergiant fields such as Ghawar in Saudi Arabia; Athabasca oil sands, in Canada; Orinoco oil sands, in Venezuela; Panhandle-Hugoton gas field, in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma that also produces helium in commercial quantities; Tengiz in Kazakhstan; Prudhoe Bay oilfield in North Slope, Alaska;  Lula field, in Brazil; White Tiger oilfield, Vietnam and many others as the supergiant South Pars/North Dome field or North Field which is the world's largest natural gas condensate field located in the Persian Gulf, shared between Iran and Qatar.
   In the Last Soldier oil field (Wyoming, USA), Kudryavtsev established that in all horizons of the geological section, sandstones of the Cambrian to Cretaceous cover the basement and have reservoirs of oil. A flow of oil was also obtained in the basement. Gaseous hydrocarbons, he noted, are not rare in igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Canadian Shield. Petroleum in Precambrian gneiss is found on the western shore of Lake Baikal in Russia. He noted that oil is present in large or small quantities, but in all horizons below any petroleum accumulation, apparently totally independent of the variability of the conditions of formation of these horizons. This nomination has become known as "Kudryavtsev's Rule" and many examples of it have been recorded in various parts of the world. He concluded that commercial accumulations of oil are simply found where permeable zones are covered with impermeable ones.

  Kudryavtsev introduced a number of other relevant considerations as arguments. Columns of flames have been seen during the eruptions of some volcanoes, sometimes reaching 500 meters high, as during the eruption of Mount Merapi, in Sumatra in 1932. The eruptions of mud volcanoes have released huge amounts of methane so that even the most prolific gas field overlying has been exhausted long ago. The water from the mud volcanoes of bearing some chemicals such as Iodine (I), bromine (Br) and boron (B) that could not be derived from the sediments and next that exceed the concentrations present in seawater at hundreds of times. Mud volcanoes are often associated with volcanic lava (magma) and when near the latter, the mud volcanoes emit non-combustible gases as carbon dioxide, whereas when farther away emit methane.
