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.
