Transform Organic Matter into Petroleum

                    Transform Organic Matter into Petroleum This article will explain the overall of how to transform organic matter into petroleum. Chemical processes will take place in order to transform organic matter preserved in source rocks into petroleum. This can be called a cooking process. Three phases regarding maturation of the organic matter to form petroleum are   digenesis ,   cytogenesis   and   mutagenesis . Diagenesis This occurs at shallow surfaces and begins during initial deposition. It normally takes place from a shallow depth to 1,000 m and the temperature range is less than 60 C (140 F). Non-biogenic reaction and biogenic decay aided by bacteria turns organic matter to Methane (CH4), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and Kerosene. Kerosene is a precursor to the creation of petroleum. Types of kerosene depend on the original type of organic matter. Kerosene Chemistry Chemical compo...

What Does a Geologist Do?

What Does a Geologist Do? Geologists work to understand the history of our planet. The better they can understand Earth’s history, the better they can foresee how events and processes of the past might influence the future. Here are some examples. Geologists study Earth processes:   Many processes such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions can be hazardous to people. Geologists work to understand these processes well enough to avoid building important structures where they might be damaged. If geologists can prepare maps of areas that have flooded in the past, they can prepare maps of areas that might be flooded in the future. These maps can be used to guide the development of communities and determine where flood protection or flood insurance is needed. Geologists study Earth materials:    People use Earth materials every day. They use oil that is produced from wells, metals that are produced from mines, and water that has been d...

Important rock for hydrocarbon production.

Five types of important sedimentary rocks from the production of hydrocarbons. Sandstones Sandstones are clastic sedimentary rocks composed of mainly sand size particles or grains set in a matrix of silt or clay and more or less firmly united by a cementing material (commonly silica, iron oxide, or calcium carbonate). The sand particles usually consist of quartz, and the term “sandstone”, when used without qualification, indicates a rock containing about 85-90% quartz. Sandstone is good reservoir rock. Carbonates, broken into two categories , limestones and dolomites. Carbonates are sediments formed by a mineral compound characterized by a fundamental anionic structure of CO3-2. Calcite and aragonite CaCO3, are examples of carbonates. Limestones are sedimentary rocks consisting chiefly of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate, CaCO3), with or without magnesium carbonate. Limestones are the most important and widely distributed of the carbonate rocks. Dolomite is ...
