    This document discusses the debate around the origin of crude oil, specifically whether it is formed through abiogenic geological processes deep within the Earth or from organic sedimentary matter from once-living organisms. It introduces two opposing theorists in the debate - Thomas Gold who believed in abiogenic formation versus Dmitri Mendeleev who argued petroleum originated from biological sources. The document poses the research question around which theory is correct regarding crude oil's origin.
