Question

Explain the process of formation of petroleum.

Answer 1

The Process of formation of Petroleum:

• Petroleum is a rare and widely used fossil fuel. It is derived after long drawn aerobic reduction and decaying of organisms like algae and zooplankton.
• These organisms are present in the sea and surrounded by loads of water without oxygen or stagnant water.
• The anaerobic bacteria reduces to sulfates and nitrates in the absence of oxygen.
• The bacteria began to combine to form Kerogen.
• This formation takes place to an expanse of 1km. Then by catagenesis, the rearrangement of the particles of kerogene takes place.
• This happens during a period of thousands to million years and ultimately results in the fuel which we term as petroleum.
