	Crude oil, natural gas: How are they formed? � � � � Decomposing buried organic material over millions of years through the action of micro-organisms Overlying layers of sand silt compress lower layers into sedimentary rock; Heat and pressure at depth slowly converts buried organic material into petroleum Petroleum formed deposits may consist mainly of larger (heavy) hydrocarbons, which have thick, nearly solid consistency of asphalt. As the petroleum matures, and as the breakdown of large molecules continues, successively “lighter” hydrocarbons are produced. In the final stages, most or all of the petroleum is broken down further into very simple, light, gaseous molecules— natural gas. Some natural gas deposits may form from deposits of plant material buried in sediment without association oil 1

	Demand in oil and gas � Oil demand in 2009 estimated at 85. 0 mb/d (-1. 4% or -1. 2 mb/d year-on-year) but expected to rise to 86. 6 mb/d in 2010 (+1. 8% or +1. 6 mb/d versus 2009) to 120 mb/d in 2030 � gas demand expected to rise by 41% from 3. 0 trillion cubic metres in 2007 to 4. 3 tcm in 2030 � world energy demand is projected to increase by over 40% between now and 2030. � Non-OECD countries account for over 90% of demand - China and India alone for over half.
