Why is there so much oil in the Middle East?

I believe that when everyone mentions the Middle East, everyone will think of oil. In the Middle East, oil resources are very abundant. So today let’s talk about why there is so much oil in the Middle East?

First, let’s talk about the conditions for the formation of oil. The formation of oil must be at low latitudes, because only low latitudes can provide organic matter. In addition, the strata must also rise and fall, thus forming a stratigraphic cycle. Of course, not only must oil be formed, but there must also be a good structure for storing oil, otherwise all the oil formed will be lost. So, if the formation is horizontal, oil cannot be retained. If the formation is an anticline, it will store oil well. In addition to these, there is another condition, that is, there must be tectonic movement. Tectonic movements also have certain requirements. They cannot be too strong or too gentle. If the tectonic movement is just right, it will provide good conditions for the formation of oil.

It just so happens that the Middle East meets all the conditions mentioned above. For example, places like Iran and Arabia are very rich in oil resources. However, the oil resources in southern Iran were formed relatively late. That is because their stratigraphic structures are different, and the structural systems of the oil they formed are also different.

In the Middle East, oil resources are very abundant, so the price of oil is cheaper than water. The Middle East is an oil supply area. There is no doubt that the Middle East is still the world's oil supply center. It is for this reason that they will also become the focus of the world.
