As the primary energy source in today's world industry, petroleum's origin (formation mechanism) has long been a subject of debate. The most popular theories are abiogenic and biogenic origin theories.

The biogenic theory posits that petroleum is formed from ancient marine or lake organisms through long-term evolution, making it a non-renewable resource derived from biological sedimentation, which is the current mainstream view.

Conversely, the abiogenic theory suggests that petroleum is generated from carbon within the Earth's crust, unrelated to biological processes, and is renewable. These are two vastly different perspectives, raising the question: In an age of extreme technological advancement, why can't we definitively determine the source of such a crucial energy resource?

After researching extensively, it becomes apparent that the issue lies not in the inability of human technology to reach the answer but rather in the fact that petroleum, dubbed "black gold," is entangled in too many vested interests, preventing the disclosure of the truth.

In 1956, American geologist Hubbert proposed a paper, which laid the foundation for the "peak oil theory." The main idea of the paper is that oil is a fossil fuel formed by biochemical reactions of organisms such as dinosaurs and algae buried underground 500 million years ago. However, this core theory is merely a hypothesis without any scientific evidence but has become the main basis for the modern "biogenic oil" theory.

In 1989, before his death, Hubbert admitted in an interview that the method he used to estimate U.S. oil reserves had nothing to do with science. He created the concept of fossil fuels primarily to support the "peak oil theory," which suggests that the total original oil production is limited (ignoring the renewable part),

and the exploitable areas are limited to the basins where ancient organisms are deposited in large quantities. He acknowledged that all places that could produce such oil had been explored, implying that no more oil could exist.

He also admitted that before publishing the peak oil theory, he had shown the paper to the chairman of a prominent Anglo-American oil giant, who insisted on opposing the views of Wick, the "overestimator" of oil reserves, and requested him to estimate the maximum oil reserves in the paper.

(Wick was the most authoritative oil reserve expert in the United States at the time, estimating that U.S. oil reserves were only 400 billion barrels and continuously raising expectations. If Wick's theory became mainstream, how could oil giants maintain or even raise oil prices?)

To make his theory appear credible, he had to become an authoritative expert. Therefore, he slightly modified the "Gaussian curve" and named it the "Hubbert curve." These curve modifications were purely speculative. Based on his imaginary curves, he retroactively deduced oil production for a certain period, without involving any mathematical logic.

The Petroleum Interest Chain Requires Lies:

In 1998, many large oil fields were discovered in Africa, and Asia, causing a global oil price collapse.

At this time, the "Hubbert phenomenon" reappeared, and Anglo-American oil giants once again promoted an upgraded version of the peak oil theory, instructing Irish petroleum geologist Colin Campbell and French petroleum geologist Jean Laherrère to jointly publish an article titled "The End of Cheap Oil" in Scientific American. The article again predicted that oil production would peak in 2010, but as time passed, the prediction proved to be false.

Dick Cheney, CEO of an oilfield services company, agreed with Campbell's views, emphasizing the strategic significance of oil as a scarce resource. In November 2000, Cheney won the U.S. vice presidency with George W. Bush and quickly extended their reach to the Middle East. It was later understood that Cheney's Middle East oil strategy was to seize the oil and hand it over to Anglo-American oil giants.

The collusion between business and politics, with oil businessmen assuming political roles and representing the interests of their backers, is not uncommon in the United States. They have led the implementation of various conspiracies. The oil chain links the interests of various parties...

Western elites have long manipulated the prices of various commodities. In this context, oil prices are largely determined not only by natural factors, supply and demand, and technological changes but also by the interests of Anglo-American groups dominating oil prices. As long as these interest entities control the situation, they will serve as the ultimate factor overriding other factors, interfering with and ultimately determining product prices.

Under the guise of democracy and the slogan of maintaining world security, they aim to plunder and control oil—the lifeblood of the world industry. To achieve their goals, they spare no effort to hinder the progress of world technological civilization, restrict the development and application of new energy sources such as nuclear and solar energy; establish international organizations serving their systems, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization;

create economic depressions, manufacture severe inflation; control the media to mislead the public, delay the progress of technological civilization; and bring endless famine, suffering, and death to developing countries.

For a century from 1914 to the present day, struggles for oil have never ceased, and political elites' covetousness for oil has never stopped. They have fabricated one shocking lie after another. Perhaps the lies will continue, but the truth will eventually come to light.
