Origin and chemistry of petroleum : proceedings of the Third Annual Karcher Symposium, Oklahoma, May 4, 1979 /

Origin and Chemistry of Petroleum explains that petroleum is produced from exceptionally disseminated organic matter of biological origin encased in extremely buried sediments. Production of petroleum starts when such sediments are exposed to higher temperatures resulting from increased depths of en...
