Physics

Scientific paper

Low temperature cracking experiments of a representative protein, at temperatures not far above the observed temperature range of 130-160°C of mature California oil source rocks, indicate the formation of all gaseous and of some gasoline range hydrocarbons of petroleum. Based on protein derivatives only it is estimated that a maximum of at least 3-8% by weight of the total organic matter of oil source sediments may be converted into such hydrocarbons. This is in addition to hydrocarbons originating from lipids.
