The universe has lots and lots of hydrocarbons. Not just a terrestrial thing.

Most hydrocarbons come from the slow bubbling up from the depths of the earth from methane locked away from rocks that initially formed the earth.
Very little if from purely biological sources.
Mostly only COAL is a bio-source of carbon buried in the ground. Maybe a little shallow oil...

I’m pretty sure it comes from BP & Exxon Mobil.

I sometimes consider if oil has a purpose we are unaware of, and if it’s depletion might not have unexpected consequences. I’m not wedded to the idea, but it is in the back of my mind collecting dust.

Back in the 60’s they were becoming convinced that hydrocarbons were coming to the surface from the Earth’s core. They drilled some test hole, I believe in 1967 through the 5000’ Scandinavian rock shield and came up with natural gas. The challenge was then to explain how rotting dinosaurs got beneath the rock shield to die.
I have heard ever since I was a kid back in the 50’s that we were going to run out of oil.
Bull sh!t.

It’s also been shown that calcium carbonate (seashells / bones / limestone) in salt water at tremendous pressures forms oils. Additionally, blue green algae takes in carbon dioxide as its food source, and in the presence of sunlight, forms oil.

Hi guy.
Hope you are doing well.
Thackney? Maybe I’m close. Ask Jimrob.

A couple of years ago I read some stuff on abiotic oil. I don't know whether it's real or mythical; but one thing I heard is that there are two groups who do not want people to believe in it: 1) Environmentalists, who do not want people to think they can use all the oil they want, and 2) oil companies, who fear that prices will drop if people believe the supply is unlimited.
