Oil and natural gas deposits are basically hydrocarbons which
absorb into buried rocks and minerals. To better understand
and visualize these deposits, one must picture an
ancient sea teeming with an immense variety of living
organisms. The ancient body of water which contained these
organisms would have covered most of the
American West, including Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Utah,
and Colorado. Some of the creatures in this sea were
large fish and other swimming beasts, but the majority
of living things consisted of vast amounts of
microscopic organisms. Scientists believe it is
these tiny plankton-like creatures that give rise to
today’s oil and natural gas.
These miniature life-forms died millions of years ago,
and their remains settled to the bottom of the sea. Over
time, these very small remains built up to enormous
quantities of organic sediment. Layered in thick
deposits on the seafloor, this organic material mixed
with sand and mud. Eventually, the
layers of sediment accumulated until they became hundreds
or even thousands of feet thick. The weight of the
uppermost layers created great heat and pressure. The
process transformed sediment into rock. Meanwhile, heat,
pressure, and other natural forces turned the dead organic
material within the layers into hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbons are the basis for oil and
natural gas.
At the same time that dead organisms were being changed
into hydrocarbons, geological forces were influencing the
Earth’s crust. Cracks, otherwise known as faults, were
created and crust movement created folds
in the sediment layers previously discussed. Molten rock
was thrust upwards, altering the formation of the surrounding
beds. Wind and water eroded formations and disturbances
in the earth's crust moving large amounts of rock. All of
these alterations in the layers of the earth's crust
were very
important because they trapped and stored hydrocarbon
deposits.
Over centuries, the weight of overlying rocks
continued to push downward, forcing hydrocarbons out of
their source rocks. They seeped through cracks and
fissures, oozing upward until they became trapped
and stored in the subsurface rock, thus becoming our modern
day oil and natural gas deposits. Today, the oil and
natural gas
industry is seeking out these petroleum deposits formed
and stored millions of years ago.
In an effort to seek out these oil deposits,
geologists apply earth sciences to narrow
down the search. Since most petroleum deposits are
buried deep underground, there are usually no surface
hints that indicate their locations. Also, much of the world’s
natural
gas and oil probably lies beneath the ocean floors. However,
scientists have developed effective seismological
methods to view the subsurface. Seismology uses sound
waves which bounce off buried rock layers. These
sound waves paint a clear picture of the underlying rock
surfaces and petroleum deposits. This scientific method
dramatically increases the probability that companies will find oil before they spend
the money to drill.
The history of geology coupled with new scientific
methods lead us to conclude that
there are very large oil and natural gas deposits right here in
North America. With vast deposits in Wyoming, Utah,
Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas, companies like
Bedrock Energy
Development, Inc.
based in Denver, Colorado are developing
domestic oil and natural gas fields.
Bedrock Energy
Development, Inc.
is among the leading developers of oil and natural gas
technology making it possible to capitalize on deposits
left by ancient sea life
that once covered the central domestic plateau.
Bedrock Energy
Development, Inc.
is developing new strategies and is on the cutting edge
of domestic energy.
