THE Abiotic Oil Thread pt 3 : Peak Oil Discussion - Page 4 - Peak Oil News and Message Boards
dissident ยป Mon 01 Apr 2019, 00:13:25 The notion of long chain hydrocarbons surviving cooking for millions of years is absurd regardless of pressure. There is no reversible chemistry involved where chain breaking is in equilibrium with chain re-forming. There is enough thermal energy available to break the chains into smaller and smaller units. These smaller pieces do not re-assemble since there is a high Gibbs free energy barrier. Pressure does not stop this process since pressure is not che...
