Origin of Oil A. As the organisms die, their remains begin to sink to the bottom of the sea where they are preserved in a poorly oxygenated environment. B. Geologists use various tools, such as seismic surveys, to study Earth to locate oil fields beneath the ground. If a location seems promising, drilling may begin. C. More and more petroleum and natural gas accumulate and become concentrated in the trap, forming an oil field. D. Oil floats on water, and gas is even lighter than oil, so petroleum and natural gas move upward within the reservoir rock, until they are stopped by an impermeable sedimentary layer such as shale, which forms a trap. E. Over time the mud accumulates & hardens forming a source rock. AA. The crude oil is transported to a refinery, where it is separated by distillation and other processes into fuels such as gasoline, butane, kerosene, liquid petroleum gas, jet fuel, diesel fuel, fuel oil, and chemicals used to manufacture plastics. BB. The petroleum and natural gas migrate into porous and permeable sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, which serves as a petroleum reservoir rock. cC. The story of oil and gas begins with planktonic organisms living in the ocean (or in lakes). DD. The weight of accumulating sediment very slowly causes the source rock to sink (subsidence), leading to the formation of sedimentary basins. EE. These remains soon mix with inorganic matter, which will later be transformed into a black, foul-smelling mud by anaerobic bacteria. AB. Thick sequences of sediments are deposited and the planktonic organisms buried in them are heated and compressed until the organic matter begins to change into kerogen, a solid, waxy organic material. AC. Wells are drilled into the ground in the oil field to extract the petroleum, which is called crude oil. AD. With even more heat and pressure, the hydrocarbons are broken down into petroleum (oil) and natural gas. AE. With the high temperatures and pressures of greater depth of burial, the kerogen begins to change into hydrocarbons. BC. Zooplankton eat phytoplankton (algae) that use the Sun's energy to produce organic matter and energy through photosynthesis.
