What is How Petroleum Forms from Organic Matter about?
Petroleum is formed from the remains of ancient sea plants and animals that were buried under layers of sediment and subjected to intense heat and pressure over millions of years. As the organic material decomposed in low-oxygen conditions on the seafloor, it was compressed into thinner layers by tons of sediment, eventually transforming into petroleum at depths around 10,000 feet where heat and pressure broke down the material.
