Most geologists believe that oil, like coal and natural gas, was formed gradually by ancient organic matter after a long period of compression and heating. According to this theory, oil was formed by the changes of prehistoric marine animals and algae corpses. After a long geological period, these organic matter mixed with silt, buried under thick sedimentary rocks, and gradually transformed through high temperature and high pressure, First, it forms waxy oil shale, then degenerates into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, which infiltrates into the nearby rocks until it meets the caprock, and the oil gathered together forms an oil field<br>In order to generate a large amount of oil and gas, firstly, there must be a rich source of organic matter, that is, there must be a paleogeographic environment for the accumulation and preservation of organisms after a large number of reproduction and biological death; secondly, after the accumulation and burial of these organic matter, it must reach the temperature of oil and gas transformation soon before a large amount of oil and gas can be generated, To achieve this condition, we must have a long-term stable subsidence tectonic environment<br>The transformation of organic matter to oil and gas is a complex process of chemical change. Any chemical change needs certain conditions, and the formation of oil and gas is no exception. In the process of transformation of organic matter to oil and gas, bacterial action, temperature, time, pressure and catalyst are essential physical and chemical conditions<br>
