Zion Oil & Gas Inc (ZNOG)

Well I can not find it with my Googlefoo.

I do remember it, old wells ready to be capped that had refilled.

I also remember the Permian and the new drill sites in-between the ones done in the 30's and 40's. Hit NEW oil.

This is a long read so I will just link it but a really good article. It has the chemistry of it as well. I will be busy.

Edit:

Geological data presented in this chapter do not respond to the main questions related to the hypothesis of biotic petroleum origin. Only the theory of the abiogenic deep origin of hydrocarbons gives convincing explanation for all above-mentioned data.

The experimental results discussed in the chapter confirm that the CaCO3-FeO-H2O system spontaneously generates the suite of hydrocarbons in characteristic of natural petroleum. Modern scientific considerations about genesis of hydrocarbons confirmed by the results of experiments and practical results of geological investigations provide the understanding that a part of the hydrocarbon compounds could be generated at the mantle conditions and migrated through the deep faults into the Earth’s crust where they are formed oil and gas deposits in any kind of rocks and in any kind of their structural position.

The experimental results presented place the theory of the abiogenic deep origin of hydrocarbons in the mainstream of modern physics and chemistry and open a great practical application. The theory of the abiogenic deep origin of hydrocarbons confirms the presence of enormous, inexhaustible resources of hydrocarbons in our planet, allows us to develop a new approach to methods for petroleum exploration and to reexamine the structure, size and location of the world’s hydrocarbons reserves.
