I just wish that 'scientists' would admit that they have no idea where crude oil comes from or exactly how much there is on Earth.
It would be so refreshing.

Petroleum geologists usually are less concerned about where oil comes from and instead tend to be much more concerned about determining whether oil will be present when their companies spend a couple million dollars to drill a well where they think the oil is going to be.

They have an excellent idea where it comes from - dead microscopic plankton (much of it diatoms and algae) laid down in oceans and large lakes and later buried.
The chemical composition of such organisms exactly matches that of petroleum in many instances.
