The Siljan Ring Experiment
In the central part of Sweden is a meteor impact structure called the Siljan Ring. It is not a location where one would find an abundance of "fossil fuels." The interior of the impact structure has very little sedimentary rocks due to the impact explosion. The interior has a basement rock that is extremely thin. It is an excellent choice for the research intended to test the a-biogenic theory. In 1986 the Gold research teams drilled nearly five miles down! The thought was to penetrate the lower crust and possibly the upper mantle. At these depths, no surface life that had decomposed could possibly exist. In 1991 the Siljan Ring experiment was producing 80 barrels a day. Not commercial quantities, but that was not the intention. Science was the intention and the fact that one drop was produced served to support Gold's theory.
The Russians took note of Gold's Siljan Ring experiment. As of 1998, the Russians have drilled over 300 wells into the basement rock on the basis of the Siljan Ring experiment; all of which are producing commercial quantities of crude oil and natural gas. The Russians have transferred their drilling technology to Vietnam. In White Tiger Field, they have drilled 20 wells into the basement rock. The Vietnamese are producing an excess of 6000 barrels per day per well, but in an area that the biogenic theory claims should be void of hydrocarbons.
I encourage you to investigate the a-biogenic theory as presented by "The Deep Hot Biosphere." You will confirm that the "energy crisis" was caused by geopolitics, not physical reality.
