Thermodynamic Model of Deep Oil Origin and its Phase “Freezing” by Marakushev Sergey, Belonogova Olga

“…The genetic relationship of oil, natural gas and carbon matter of black shale formations (kerogen) on Earth is also beyond doubt, and therefore, in this paper, the evolution of petrogenic carbon reservoirs, including oil shale rocks in the lithosphere, is considered on the basis of a deep inorganic concept, in which the direction of the carbon transformation process is the opposite of the biogenic concept and is represented as HCs → gas → oil → kerogen. The analysis of phase diagrams and experimental data made it possible to determine two trends in the evolution of non-methane hydrocarbons in the Earth’s interior. …”
