Most oil and gas starts life as microscopic plants and animals that live in the ocean.

 HYDROCARBON FORMATION - BLOOMS

◊ Today, most plankton can be

found where deep ocean currents
rise to the surface.

nutrients and causes the plankton
Industrial to bloom.
Practices

◊ Blooms of certain plankton called

dinoflagellates may give the water
Dinoflagellate bloom a red tinge.

 HYDROCARBON FORMATION - ON THE SEABED

When the plankton dies it rains down on sea bed to

form an organic mush.

If there are any animals on the sea bed these will feed
on the organic particles (detritivores).

 HYDROCARBON FORMATION - BLACK SHALE

◊ However, if there is little or no oxygen in the

water then animals can’t survive and the organic
mush accumulates.
