The Russians for decades reinvested all there Oil profits in working out how to drill deeper as they always knew this and eventually worked out how to drill down to 40 thousand feet where the mineral is naturally produced this is why they have become the No 1 oil supplier in the world.
Ah, actually, no. That would be the United States:
U.S. surges past Saudis to become world's top oil supplier. Source
And I thought the whole abiotic oil theory had been disproved years ago.

Seriously when the gulf disaster happened we are to believe that at those depths life once existed? Dinosaurs and vegetation? Really?
Newsflash: When living organisms die in the water, they tend to sink.

So, the Earth's surface has been the same for hundreds of millions of years.
It hasn't changed? There are no subduction zones. No sedimentation layers.
I don't suppose those drillers are geologists?
