[ Home ]               The Permian-Triassic Impact Event and its Importance for the World Economy and for the Exploration- & Mining-Industry

The Permian Triassic (PT) Impact Event 253 million years ago produced most energy-resources and metal-ore deposits worldwide !

There are at least 10 Secondary-Impact Craters of the PTI -Event with Ø ≥ 250 km and around 60 secondary craters with Ø 100 -200 km visible on gravity- & magnetic-anomaly maps, and on topographic- & satellite-maps

Each Secondary-Crater and -Impact-Structure caused by the PT-Impact Event is a potential mining site where large Oil- and Gas-fields and/or large deposits of metal-ore could be present !

Please read Part 4 of my study for a detailed explanation : The PT-Event and its Importance for the World Economy and for the Exploration- & Mining-Industry  (9 Mb)  alternative Links : ► Part 4 (1) ► Part 4 (2)

And see these 2 Lectures : Impact Craters and Resources + Overview of Plate Tectonics (5 Mb)   ( ► or  L1 )  ---   The PT-Secondary Impact-Craters- and resulting Oil- & Gas exploration areas (3Mb)  ( ► or  L2 )  

With the following maps, images and diagrams I want to focus on explaining how the World's largest energy-resources / -deposits ( Oil- and Gas-fields ) were caused by the PT-Impact Event. !   I do this because

especially the Oil- and Gas (energy) resources are crucial for mankind and they were the reason for many "Energy-Resources-Wars" in the past !  Therefore knowledge about the location of OIl- & Gas-fields is crucial !

The World's largest Oil- & Gas-fields are located within the paths of the main Ejecta Rays of the PT-Impact Crater !  Especially Ejecta Ray R4 which runs over the Kaspian Sea, Persian Gulf, Iran & Saudi Arabia

and then along the east-coast of Africa contains the World's largest Oil- and Gas-fields, like the Ghawar oil-field in Saudi Arabia and the North-Field South Pars Gas-field in Iran. 

The reason for that seems to be the accumulation of carbonatites along Ejecta Ray R4 which must be caused by ejecta material from the PT-Crater !    These carbonatites must be the result of carbon-rich material

coming either from the PT-Impactor itself (  probably a carbon-rich comet  ) or coming from carbon-rich rocks of the Carboniferous Age, which were excavated by the PT-Impact and then ejected along major ejecta rays

which are clearly visible on gravity anomaly maps ( see images further below ) The gravity anomaly map of Arabia shows two particular large craters ( Ø 200 - Ø 300km ) which are probably Secondary Craters of the

PTI-Event.     The Kaspian Sea also seems to be the result of 2 - 3 PTI-Secondary Craters with  Ø 200-300km.     The large Oil-fields in Lybia seem to be the result of PTI-Secondary Craters from Ejecta Ray R2.

It seems that large amounts of Iron- & Carbon-rich Ejecta Material from the PTI descented into Earth's mantle along Ejecta Ray R4, in particular between the Kaspian Sea and the Victoria-Lake area ! ( Fig 4. )

The African LLVSP is a direct result of this descented ejecta !  And the Pacific LLSVP results from ejecta which descented along the CY-Crater Chain !  ► The PTI caused the African- and the Pacific-LLSVP

 1.) Arabia's oilfields result from the PTI-Event     2.) The Ejecta-wings leading edges caused Ejecta Ray R4 and the CYC-Chain    3.) Carbonatites are clearly distributed along R4 !    4.) Carbonatites result from PTI-ejecta diving into Earth's mantle   5.) Iron-ore in India caused by PTI-Ejecta

   Please have a look now at the following maps !  :  ►  Impact Craters are potential exploration areas for Oil- and Gas-fields ! :   ► see :  Ames Crater in Oklahoma / USA

                                                                                                    And please read the WARNING regarding worldwide declining resources at the end of this Website !!

 Please note :   The estimated reserves of Oil- and Gas which are still in the ground along the Ejecta Rays R1 - R4 probably exceed 300 billion barrel oil & 150 trillion ft^3 of Gas !!!

 And I am sure that the “yet unknown” PT-Secondary-Craters worldwide, described in my study, will lead to resource-deposits ( Oil, Gas & Metal-Ore ) in the US$ 100 trillion range !!

 Especially the craters along Ejecta Ray R4 in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania & Mosambique and the ocean floor along Somalia's coast are interesting Oil- & Gas- exploration areas !!

 The craters along Ejecta Rays R1 to R3, the CIC and the area along the VLC-ejecta ray, the Great Rift Valley which is a result of the PTI, are further interesting exploration areas !

   The Cape York Secondary-Impact Crater-Chain along the NE-coast of Australia, caused by the PTI-Event, may also be a potential area for big Oil- & Gas-fields :

     The African- and the Pacific - LLSVP were caused by the two major ejecta rays of the PTI ! :  see PDF with all weblinks :  ► The LLSVP's were caused by the PTI                                 

   At last a WARNING regarding the worldwide FAST DECLINING Crude-Oil Resources !!! :

      Crude-oil is the most critical (energy) resource worldwide !!!  -   Please read : Study 1  and  "Peak-Oil"    

     ► Worldwide transport of goods & people depends to > 90 % on crude-oil !

  WARNING :  We are also running out fast of most other Natural Resources ( e.g. all types of Metal-Ore, wood, drinking water etc...)

        ► See weblink to the computer simulation of the whole world economy :  The World3 Model

       



 ► Here are the weblinks :  Limits to Growth_Is the prediction going to happen ?  Please also see :  Part 2 !!  

    and :   7 Billion : How did we get so Big so Fast ?       and :  Exponential Growth
 

Please note :  In all of human history ( >2 million years ) mankind consumed less than 10 % of all resources of our planet Earth ( up to around 1985 ).
 

However in the very short time-frame of just 50 years, from 1985 to 2035  mankind will consume 50 % of all of Earth’s resources !!!

This is the serious consequence of the exponential growth of mankind up to around the year 2000 !!

And we will need an extremely large amount of Resources in a very short time frame in the next 15 to 20 years  !!!   ( see World3 diagram !! )

 The World's Leaders must understand that we live in the most critical time of humans history !!!   We must reduce consumption !!!
 

My discovery of the PT-Impact Crater and the secondary-craters and -structures worldwide will help to shift the collapse-point of the World Economy

a bit further into the future ( maybe 10 to 20 years  ) because we now have a better view of the locations were the remaining resources are hidden !

But in order to survive in the longterm Mankind must drastically reduce its resource consumption !!!       This means the strategy of the FED-bankers,

Central Bankers & Investment Bankers to only poor cheap money into the World Economy to keep the World Economy running at an ever increasing

pace won't work anymore soon !!, because soon there won't be any resources left and our Planet & Nature will be wreaked and completely polluted !!!

The leading Economists must restructure our World Economy in a way that we need less resources in the future and not more & more resources !!!

For example people should live together in community houses in the future with only a small private apartment per person,   instead of everyone is

striving for a big house with many rooms !  And we must drastically reduce the energy consumption of cars and houses, the consumption of meat,

especially from cattle, because cattle needs to much land which better should be used to grow vegetarian food which can feed much more peoble !

And the world leaders must work together to stop the destruction of the World's precious Rain-Forrests !!!      These are the lungs of our Planet were

the atmosphere gets cleaned by the daily rainfalls and were the majority of our world's species live !  And the world leaders must stop the pollution of

our Oceans with plastic by helping and advising countries like India and Indonesia,  were the most plastic waste gets flushed into the oceans during

the monsoon-time, in order to clean-up their river systems and flood areas and establish professional dumping sites, to avoid further pollution !!

Otherwise the Rain-Forrests will disappear in the next 10-20 years, Millions of Species will go extinct, and the world will turn into a polluted desert !!!

Here some diagrams which show that we will reach the peak of metal-ore output within the next 10 - 30 years for most metals !!!

► see Lecture :   Future raw material availability on a finite planet 

At last :  Images of a simulated Impact at a shallow impact angle ≤ 15°     ►  Note the two powerful „ejecta-wings“ ( red ) produced by the impact !!

              These images give an impression of the two main ejecta rays of the PT-Impact Event which caused Ejecta Ray R4 and another similar

              massive ejecta ray in the Pacific-region, which caused the African- LLSVP and the Pacific- LLSVP when they cut trough Earth's crust !!
