Abstract
ACCORDING to the theory of the non-biogenic origin at depth of the hydrocarbons in the Earth's crust, petroleum is not formed in sedimentary rocks. From this point of view all known accumulations of petroleum are secondary; they are exceptions to the usual pattern of permeation, during which only part of the migrating matter is accumulated1.
