    Lesson 1 - Formation of Crude Oil

    1) Crude oil is formed through a 3 stage process from the remains of ancient marine organisms over millions of years. 2) The organisms were buried under layers of mud and sediment on the seafloor where pressure and heat slowly transformed them into crude oil and natural gas over time. 3) Today, the crude oil has migrated upward and become trapped between permeable and impermeable rock layers underground. Oil companies drill down through the impermeable rock to extract the trapped crude oil.

    Title: LO: To describe how crude oil is formed


    Task 1: RAPID RECALL
    1) What is a catalyst? (3)
    Catalyst increases the rate of reaction by providing an alternative pathway by
    lowering the activation energy

    2) What is a reversible reaction? (1)


    A reaction where products can react to produce the original reactants.

    3) When concentration increases, what happens to the rate of


    reaction? (3) Rate of reaction increases, there are more
    particles, more chances of successful collisions
    4) When temperature increases, what happens to the rate of
    reaction? (3) Rate of reaction increases, particles gain more kinetic energy,
    They move faster, causing higher chances of successful collisions

    What caused the marine organisms to change
    into crude oil?

    Salt from the sea water


    The chemicals from the mud

    Pressure and heat


    Why did the crude oil become trapped?

    Could not move through the


    impermeable rock
    It is denser than water so it remains on
    the sea bed

    The mud provides a water proof


    barrier
