About this episode
While scientists often talk about how it takes millions of years to form oil and gas deposits, they say little about the fact that oil and natural gas are forming today in the ocean's sediments. The sediments of the Gulf of Mexico are well known examples of the rapid natural formation of petroleum deposits. In addition, oil and natural gas are seeping from petroleum deposits under the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.
