99.whatever % marine life in the trillion/trillion/trillion of tons over tens of millions of years settling in the shallow waters of the ancient World- bury with volcanic activity and other processes, Cook under pressure for millions of years and voila- Petroleum.
And a pinch of oregano
Like it was that easy. It's the reason you hear about "dry holes" in oil drilling. The oil was there, it's just that sometime in the ancient past, the formation ruptured and released huge amount of Petroleum on the ancient world. The EPA would not approve if they were around that long ago.
most of the wells in texas are over a mile deep. That well that caused all that shit in the gulf a few years ago, Deep Water Horizon, is over 35,000 feet deep. How did all of that dirt end up on top of all of those dead sea critters?
First, your stats are all wrong. 35,000 feet would make it deeper then the Marianas Trench. More like drilling in less than 1,000 feet of ocean to the seabed then maybe a couple of thousand feet to paydirt. I'm guessing you can't envision what the World's tetonic forces can achieve over ten's of millions of years. The timeline is beyond human comprehension.
35,050 ft
In September 2009, the rig drilled the deepest oil well in history at a vertical depth of 35,050 ft (10,683 m) and measured depth of 35,055 ft (10,685 m) in the Tiber Oil Field at Keathley Canyon block 102, approximately 250 miles (400 km) southeast of Houston, in 4,132 feet (1,259 m) of water.
Wow, That info confirmed via Google. That blows my mind. I can't believe that they were/ are able to drill in that deep of water and then drill to that depth under the ocean floor. That would be extremely difficult even on dry land. The technology they are employing must be off the charts. Thanks for the info.

50th Anniversary of Oregons exploding whale.
Always loved that story and video. You can almost hear someone ask the guy in charge of the operation how much TNT he's going to use. "Was told 70 lbs, so I figured 1,000 just to make sure".

which gets back to my point. how did 7 miles of dirt end up on top of those rotting sea creatures in order to create the oil?

Just guessing on my part. Over 10's of millions of years time span, tectonic activity creating fold miles deep, volcanic activity covering huge area miles deep in lava. Knowing where the location is and Googling that the Mississippi River is 40 million year old, that area gets buried in million of tons of silt yearly for millions of years. Only 3 I can think of. I'm sure there are more.

Now that I think about it and not sure of how it would affect that areas' ocean floor, that comet that struck 60 some million years ago wiping out the dinosaurs and most life on Earth was off the Yucatan in present Mexico. Knowing kind of where that well is located, I don't think it can be more than a few hundred miles away from the impact zone.

One other thing aided the production of oil and coal, the bacteria that rots fallen leaves and dead organic matter had not evolved yet.

So, 8,133 tons of gold. Converted to ounces and using $1847/ounce. That would be
488,000,000,000.
488 billion dollars.
Not much when you consider a debt of $20 trillion. That $488 billion isn't even enough for half of one of the stimulus packages passed this year.
