The Formation, Locations, and Storage of Oil: Understanding the Essentials

Discover how oil is formed from marine microorganisms and the remains of ancient plants and animals over millions of years under extreme heat and pressure. We explore the necessary conditions for oil formation, its significant locations around the globe, and why oil is primarily found in sedimentary rocks. Learn about the best storage rocks, with a focus on shale, and engage with hands-on experiments to see oil absorption in different rock types. A comprehensive overview suitable for students and enthusiasts alike.

  1. OIL 2 1 By: Jack and Kirk

  2. How is oil formed? • Made of • - Marine microorganisms • - Bodies of dead plants/animals • Takes millions of years • Tons of heat/pressure • Causes chemical reactions • -Forms oil 6

  3. What conditions are necessary to form oil? • Heat/Pressure • Sediment • Millions of years 5

  4. Where is most of the Earth's oil located? • Top 10 producers •Barrels per Day • Saudi Arabia 10,782 • Russia 9,790 • United States 8,514 • Iran 4,174 • China 3,973 • Canada 3,350 • Mexico 3,186 • United Arab Emirates 3,046 • Kuwait 2,741 • Venezuela 2,643 3 4

  5. Why is oil only found in sedimentary rocks? • Oil buried in sediment • -Sediment turns to sedimentary rock • Rock absorbs oil • Oil found in sedimentary rock 11 12

  6. What is the best storage rock for oil? • Shale/best source rock • - Oil moved in to storage rock • Storage rock sedimentary 7

  7. Experiment • Supplies • - Eyedropper • - Mineral oil • - 2 samples/sandstone • - 2 samples/limestone • - 2 samples/shale • - Magnifying glass • - Stopwatch w/ second hand • - Paper plates (6)

  8. Experiment • Procedure • Place samples on plate • Drop 5 drops/mineral oil/sample • Start stopwatch • Stop stopwatch/when oil/soaked in • Record in data table

  9. Hypothesis Hypothesis: If oil is poured on sandstone, limestone, and shale, then sandstone will absorb oil the quickest. 8 Why: Because sandstone feels the most porous.

  10. Variable • Variable • -Type of rock • -Sandstone/Limestone/Shale 9 10

  11. What is the best storage rock for oil?
