WRT biogenic and thermogenic gas....I have encountered biogenic gas in many locations around the world. Biogenic gas is generated in low temperature environments, temperatures not sufficient to create thermogenic gas and oil and/or to kill the bacteria that create biogenic gas. A very interesting example of co-location of bio-genic and thermo-genic products, however, is offshore Ecuador and Peru. Noble Energy produces a biogenic gas field from reservoirs 12-15,000' deep. This is abnormally deep (and hot) for biogenic gas to occur (I am not aware of any other occurrence >10,000). BPZ Energy, 15 miles to the south, produces 2 fields or oil & gas (a small % is biogenic) from the same depth. Geologically its difficult to explain why biogenic gas is found at such depth and adjacent to oil and gas. As an ERHC shareholder, I can only hope such mystery exists in the JDZ.
