abiotic oil theory

Try Saturn's largest moon Titan. They are called organic because hydrocarbons consist of hydrogen and carbon. Organic chemistry is the study of the compounds of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The term organic in this case does not mean the living, but rather the four most common elements in the living.

Please define the term bedrock. Oil and natural gas deposits so far as known have virtually all come from sedimentary, rather than igneous or metamorphic rock. The mantle underneath the crust is metamorphic.The abiotic theory means that at least some oil and gas is caused by outgassing from the mantle due to chemical reactions rather than from the decay of organic material. So far as I know, evidence for the concept is still being gathered and examined and no final verdict has been reached.
