I guess many people don't see the significance of a 9,000 ft deep oil drill. So ill explain it. the deepest and oldest fossils are only found 1,000 ft deep. So how did organic chemistry occur below the tatonic plate of a continent??
here in Texas there is so much methane that they have to pump it back in the ground. in fact we have only used less than 5% of the worlds methane gas. methane frezes into ice in the depths of the oceans that has collected and gathered over the ages. that's is 95% of the condensed pure clean burning methane energy.

I have always said that the "OIL" is there for a reason. The Earth itself has moving parts, meaning: tectonic plates. What is it that oil does besides burn? Lubricate. Perhaps the oil is there to reduce the friction of from the movements of the tectonic plates. We keep sucking it up and when the plates move, the rub together with out lubrication, thus increasing the stress on the plates and making earthquakes more and more intense. Just a theory. If it is there for such a reason, how indeed did it get there?
I can see it now. another crusade for the intelligent design movement.
Oil has been so outdated, it's a shame we still use it at all.
By the way, what fills back in the space where the oil came from? Water, or does the earth collapse in on itself?

In theory then, we could make our own petrol
How else do we get synthetic oil for cars other than make it?
So why do they even need to drill for it?
Why cant they just make it?
They take the hydrocarbons from oil, to make petrol?
Clearly they don't need to do this.
Unleaded gasoline uses Benzine.
They make Benzine synthetically.
So I would have to agree, that the oil barrel price etc, is a giant scam.

if the rocks laid down below sea level 300mya can go up 25,500' why shouldn't they go down to a similar extent?
