///The abiogenetic petroleum origin hypothesis argues that the crude oil and natural petroleum gas have no intrinsic connection with biological matter originating near the surface of the Earth. They are primordial materials which have been erupted from great depths. Therefore, they are renewable resources instead of non-renewable resources. The abiogenetic hypothesis has been supported by geological, physical and chemical evidence. Geologists found that no source rocks could form enormous volumes of hydrocarbons in many huge off fields, and that therefore the most plausible explanation is abiotic deep petroleum. The authors suggest drilling deep boreholes to evaluate oil potential and strengthening geophysical exploration, especially for basal structure.
