00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,140


2
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:08,969
Over the 160-year history of oil production, it has been claimed
countless times that oil reserves will soon run out, only

3
00:00:08,969 --> 00:00:18,180
for a new date for “peak oil” (the point at which global
production reaches its maximum) to be set shortly thereafter.

4
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:25,117
How can you be wrong so often? Or
has the oil perhaps been replenished?

5
00:00:25,117 --> 00:00:31,597
In fact, there are experts—such as the
bestselling authors Dipl.-Ing. Hans-Joachim Zillmer and

6
00:00:31,597 --> 00:00:35,695
geographer Prof. Werner Kirstein—who go even further:

7
00:00:35,695 --> 00:00:41,609
In her opinion, the much-touted depletion of
reserves is merely being used to

8
00:00:41,609 --> 00:00:47,039
artificially drive up oil prices by citing a shortage.

9
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,429
You'll find out how they arrived at
this conclusion in this documentary.

10
00:00:52,429 --> 00:00:58,320
Let's start by discussing the
importance of petroleum to us humans.

11
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:06,719
Since the beginning of industrial oil production in 1859, a
fundamental structural transformation has taken place in Europe,

12
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:11,600
which can be regarded as the foundation of our wealth today.

13
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:18,265
As a fuel for machines, petroleum has since
provided mobility, heat, and electricity.

14
00:01:18,265 --> 00:01:25,028
As a raw material, it is used to manufacture
countless products that have become an integral part of

15
00:01:25,028 --> 00:01:29,718
our lives, such as plastic, paints, and fertilizers.

16
00:01:29,718 --> 00:01:39,938
While global oil consumption stood at 6 million barrels
(159 liters each) per day in 1945, by 2012 it had risen to

17
00:01:39,938 --> 00:01:45,703
88 million barrels—equivalent to 44 supertankers per day.

18
00:01:45,703 --> 00:01:52,040
Crude oil is therefore the most important energy
source and the foundation of the global economy.

19
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,460
An adequate supply of petroleum is
of paramount importance to humanity.

20
00:01:58,460 --> 00:02:08,276
While a barrel of crude oil cost about $2 in
the 1960s and was still available for $10 as

21
00:02:08,276 --> 00:02:14,660
recently as 1999, it reached a peak of $148 in 2008.

22
00:02:14,660 --> 00:02:20,656
This raises an important question:
What caused this enormous price increase?

23
00:02:20,656 --> 00:02:31,574
After all, high oil prices have a negative impact on the
global economy and ultimately affect every single person.

24
00:02:31,574 --> 00:02:36,026
An oil crisis despite a surplus of oil?

25
00:02:36,026 --> 00:02:43,020
According to studies by historian Dr. Rüdiger
Graf, until around 1970, petroleum was a cheap

26
00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:47,420
and seemingly inexhaustible source of energy.

27
00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:55,405
That didn't change until the 1973 oil crisis, during which the
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC for

28
00:02:55,405 --> 00:03:04,738
short) sought to force international oil companies to pay
higher prices for the right to produce oil in their countries.

29
00:03:04,738 --> 00:03:10,751
By reducing production, it put pressure on
the global economy, which is heavily dependent

30
00:03:10,751 --> 00:03:14,480
on oil; prices rose and fuel became scarce.

31
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,612
There were car-free Sundays and empty highways.

32
00:03:18,612 --> 00:03:24,020
Since then, the price of oil has never fallen back to
its previous level, and we have been repeatedly

33
00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:28,932
reminded that we need to reduce our oil consumption. But why?

34
00:03:28,932 --> 00:03:36,982
In fact, however, production volumes have
risen steadily from 0.3 million metric tons

35
00:03:36,982 --> 00:03:42,057
in 1861 to 4,630 million metric tons in 2018.

36
00:03:42,057 --> 00:03:50,190
According to Dr. Rüdiger Graf, there is no reason to assume
that this important resource will soon become unavailable.

37
00:03:50,190 --> 00:03:55,346
This outcome is being brought about
solely by political and economic factors.

38
00:03:55,346 --> 00:04:00,845
He says, word for word, “The problem isn’t that
we don’t have enough oil. The problem has

39
00:04:00,845 --> 00:04:05,369
always been—and still is—that we have too much oil.”

40
00:04:05,369 --> 00:04:10,815
Textbook Theory on the Formation of
Crude Oil Resting on Shaky Ground

41
00:04:10,815 --> 00:04:17,525
School and college textbooks, such as the “Purves”
biology textbook, teach that petroleum is of fossil origin.

42
00:04:17,525 --> 00:04:21,197
It is not widely known what this theory is based on.

43
00:04:21,197 --> 00:04:29,136
NEXUS magazine writes: “In 1757, Russian
geoscientist Mikhail Lomonosov was the first to

44
00:04:29,136 --> 00:04:33,470
claim that petroleum was of fossil origin.”

45
00:04:33,470 --> 00:04:42,191
His hypothesis, based on his own observations and the
limited scientific knowledge of his time, was as follows:

46
00:04:42,191 --> 00:04:48,136
“Crude oil is formed from the tiny bodies of animals that are
trapped in sediments and, under enormous

47
00:04:48,136 --> 00:04:55,814
pressure and high temperatures, transform into
crude oil over unimaginably long periods of time.”

48
00:04:55,814 --> 00:05:01,907
Two and a half centuries later, Lomonosov's
hypothesis has almost attained the status of an ideology.

49
00:05:01,907 --> 00:05:06,485
But has it been confirmed by
experiments in the meantime? Not at all.

50
00:05:06,485 --> 00:05:09,766
In the Wall Street Journal, we can read:

51
00:05:09,766 --> 00:05:17,052
“Although humanity has been drilling for oil for generations,
little is known about the origin of these deposits or

52
00:05:17,052 --> 00:05:21,900
the processes by which they formed deep within the Earth.”

53
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:25,993
The Non-Biological Formation of Petroleum

54
00:05:25,993 --> 00:05:32,655
The little-known abiotic theory of the origin of petroleum and
natural gas has already been mentioned as a possible explanation

55
00:05:32,655 --> 00:05:36,431
in several historical editions of the Brockhaus Encyclopedia.

56
00:05:36,431 --> 00:05:42,368
"Abiotic" or "abiogenic" means that no
living organisms are involved in its formation.

57
00:05:42,368 --> 00:05:51,114
Unlike the theory of fossil oil formation, this theory posits that
hydrocarbons such as methane are formed inside many celestial

58
00:05:51,114 --> 00:05:55,923
bodies through the combination of carbon and other elements.

59
00:05:55,923 --> 00:06:00,923
Methane is the main component of
natural gas and a precursor to crude oil.

60
00:06:00,923 --> 00:06:07,134
In several scenarios, experiments showed that
methane could be extracted from rocks alone.

61
00:06:07,134 --> 00:06:12,821
To this end, the rocks were subjected to
conditions such as those found in the Earth's mantle.

62
00:06:12,821 --> 00:06:18,210
On the other hand, however, it was not possible to
produce oil from plant and animal materials in the

63
00:06:18,210 --> 00:06:21,931
laboratory that resembled naturally occurring petroleum.

64
00:06:21,931 --> 00:06:28,353
Scientific experiments thus prove that
hydrocarbons can form through abiotic reactions.

65
00:06:28,353 --> 00:06:38,409
In contrast, according to Prof. Werner Kirstein, there is
still no evidence to date for a biotic or fossil origin.

66
00:06:38,409 --> 00:06:41,696
Natural gas in abundance

67
00:06:41,696 --> 00:06:46,275
Surprisingly, methane has been detected all over the ocean floor.

68
00:06:46,275 --> 00:06:51,361
According to Dipl.-Ing. Hans-Joachim Zillmer,
such gas emissions are found particularly along

69
00:06:51,361 --> 00:06:54,540
all the fault lines of the continental plates.

70
00:06:54,540 --> 00:07:03,380
They are found in approximately 1,600 mud volcanoes on land
and in countless large holes and craters all over the seafloor.

71
00:07:03,380 --> 00:07:07,650
For example, the seafloor of the North
Sea is also dotted with methane craters.

72
00:07:07,650 --> 00:07:13,780
Methane is released in all sorts of
places around the world and is abundant.

73
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:18,112
So there is certainly no shortage.

74
00:07:18,112 --> 00:07:21,470
Methane Detected in Space

75
00:07:21,470 --> 00:07:27,419
Methane has also been detected
spectroscopically—that is, by analyzing cosmic radiation—on

76
00:07:27,419 --> 00:07:31,134
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

77
00:07:31,134 --> 00:07:39,157
Saturn's moon Titan is particularly striking; huge lakes
of liquid methane have been discovered on its surface.

78
00:07:39,157 --> 00:07:42,900
Methane appears to be widespread throughout the universe.

79
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:49,231
According to the scientists, however, none of the
celestial bodies mentioned ever had any flora or fauna that

80
00:07:49,231 --> 00:07:52,892
could explain a biotic—that is, fossil—origin of methane.

81
00:07:52,892 --> 00:07:57,820
So where does the methane on this planet come from?

82
00:07:57,820 --> 00:08:01,634
Self-renewing oil fields

83
00:08:01,634 --> 00:08:05,345
Can oil fields regenerate? Yes!

84
00:08:05,345 --> 00:08:11,189
According to the latest research, as Prof. Kirstein
says, this is possible and, in fact, happens quite often.

85
00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:18,767
It turned out that oil can rise from great depths and
replenish deposits that have already been exploited.

86
00:08:18,767 --> 00:08:22,767
Laboratory tests can confirm that it is new crude oil:

87
00:08:22,767 --> 00:08:30,251
The newly surfaced crude oil has a different composition
than the previous batch, and it contains different microbes.

88
00:08:30,251 --> 00:08:37,009
If petroleum were formed through biological processes,
it could only have originated from dead organisms once.

89
00:08:37,009 --> 00:08:42,840
However, the observed replenishment of these
reservoirs is much more likely to be explained by

90
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,618
continuous abiotic production in the Earth's core.

91
00:08:46,618 --> 00:08:50,517
Why are microbes found in crude oil?

92
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:58,936
Crude oil contains countless dead microbes and bacteria, which,
according to prevailing theory, are regarded as

93
00:08:58,936 --> 00:09:05,712
evidence that crude oil originated from these very
organisms—that is, that it must have a biological origin.

94
00:09:05,712 --> 00:09:13,939
But what if these microorganisms live there, several
kilometers below the surface, where the oil is stored?

95
00:09:13,939 --> 00:09:21,298
What if they die simply because of the pressure
difference during oil extraction, since they can't withstand it?

96
00:09:21,298 --> 00:09:26,980
Astrophysicist Prof. Gold came up with
this idea, and others followed suit.

97
00:09:26,980 --> 00:09:31,260
To confirm his theory, he conducted an experiment:

98
00:09:31,260 --> 00:09:39,306
Using a pressure vessel, he extracted fresh crude oil from deep
underground and analyzed it in the lab. And what did he find?

99
00:09:39,306 --> 00:09:44,118
Living microbes and bacteria that had never been seen before!

100
00:09:44,118 --> 00:09:51,675
He saw this as proof that microbes and bacteria live
in and on crude oil because it is their source of

101
00:09:51,675 --> 00:09:57,408
sustenance, and not that the crude oil is produced by them.

102
00:09:57,408 --> 00:10:03,400
Fossil sites at extremely great depths
contradict the theory of fossil formation

103
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:12,728
Oil was discovered in the Gulf of Mexico at a depth of 5,600
meters below the seafloor and at a depth of 10,500 meters.

104
00:10:12,728 --> 00:10:16,384
It is impossible for a fossil to have formed at such a depth.

105
00:10:16,384 --> 00:10:22,287
According to Prof. Kirstein, if the oil were of
fossil origin, it would not be stable at this

106
00:10:22,287 --> 00:10:26,565
depth due to the high pressure and high temperature.

107
00:10:26,565 --> 00:10:31,142
Hans-Joachim Zillmer, M.Eng., concludes:

108
00:10:31,142 --> 00:10:38,708
"If the theory of the abiotic formation of crude oil
and natural gas is correct, the geopolitical and economic

109
00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:43,290
implications would be virtually impossible to predict."

110
00:10:43,290 --> 00:10:50,079
Wars over oil would be a thing of
the past, and high prices would fall.

111
00:10:50,079 --> 00:10:56,807
"In short, all of humanity would be better off."

112
00:10:56,807 --> 00:11:03,103
Provided that humanity is informed of
this and the oil is actually made available.

113
00:11:03,103 --> 00:11:11,423
But why do school and college textbooks still
teach that petroleum is formed from fossil remains?

114
00:11:11,423 --> 00:11:19,499
Could it be that certain people or groups have
no interest in humanity learning that oil—and

115
00:11:19,499 --> 00:11:25,153
thus energy—is available in unlimited quantities?

120
00:11:46,267 --> 00:11:51,360
Hahaha! Really? I can't believe it!

121
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:57,394
If they knew that we depend on oil,
their whole worldview would change!
