An oil guy was saying he thought that oil is abiotic & produced deeply in intense heat & pressure areas where friction & pressure break down carbon elements & turn it into gas, and it works it’s way up, cools and congeals and is OIL.

An oil guy THOUGHT? Apparently, he doesn't know.

The earth's core temp is estimated at around 5000 to 7000 degrees Celsius. Some say 9000 degrees. (Talk about global warming - eh?) No chemical reactions take place at those temps? Kinda hard to believe...

The core is estimated (no one KNOWS that either) to be very hot, however, the transitional area from surface to hot core is receptive to other processes.

“An oil guy THOUGHT? Apparently, he doesn’t know.”

Thought is my word, not his. You miss the bigger picture if your focus is semantics.

There were a couple of “depleted” reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico that have regenerated. I think Rush Limbaugh was talking about this awhile back.

The least we could do is be open minded.
