Explaining the Formation of Oil and Gas and the Future of Energy Sources

The video explains how oil and gas, non-renewable resources, formed from marine organisms millions of years ago, and the process takes millions of years. New technologies are improving energy sources for the future.

00:00:00 The video explains how oil and gas, which are non-renewable resources, were formed from marine organisms millions of years ago.

⚡️ Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas are the main sources of energy for transportation, electricity, and cooking.

🌊 Millions of years ago, marine organisms like algae and microscopic animals and plants died and settled on the ocean floor, eventually turning into a substance called keratin.

🔥⛽ Under heat and pressure, keratin transforms into oil or gas, which are non-renewable resources.

00:01:04 The process of oil and gas formation takes millions of years as hydrocarbons are squeezed through rocks. Reservoirs can be as large as a city.

💡 Oil and gas formation takes millions of years and involves hydrogen and carbon atoms.

🌍 The Earth's constant pressure and movement squeezes oil and gas through rocks, creating reservoirs.

🔍 Geologists use survey techniques like seismic and gravitational surveys to find oil and gas deposits.

00:02:10 New technologies are improving the way we find conventional and unconventional oil and gas deposits, as well as alternative and renewable energy sources. What will be the energy sources of the future?

📈 Mapping seismic surveys create 3D views of Earth's interior for finding conventional oil and gas deposits.

📉 New technologies like four-dimensional projections and graphic renderings improve exploration methods.

🌐 Unconventional oil and gas extraction is important due to limited energy resources.
