Experiments on the role of water in petroleum formation
TL;DR: The role of water in the formation of bitumen is investigated in this paper, where the authors evaluate the role of liquid water in bitumen formation and demonstrate that it is essential to the generation of an expelled saturate-enriched oil that is similar to natural crude oil.
