Organic matter of oceanic sediments in the system of convective mass transfer in the lithosphere

The theory of the origin of oil and gas is one of the most debatable. Two paradigms of the biogenic and abiogenic (mineral) origin of hydrocarbons have their proponents, which form their own evidence base. There are supporters of the polygenic origin of oil and gas as well. As is evident from [1] and other studies, the dual nature of hydrocarbons provides evidence for dependence of the processes of their formation on the global processes of energetics, dynamics, and degas sing of the Earth. In addition to the endogenic pro cesses, a significant role belongs to exogenic pro cesses, such as the atmosphericbiosphericlithos pheric influence.
