    This document discusses competing theories about the origin of oil. The biogenic theory holds that oil is derived from ancient life, while the abiogenic theory argues oil forms from carbon deep within the Earth's core. Some scientists dispute the abiogenic theory by claiming carbon cannot exist under high heat, though others and Swedish drillers counter that diamonds have been found proving carbon can withstand pressure even at high temperatures, as seen from methane gas discovered in Sweden's Siljan Ring.
