The Russians abandoned the old fossil fuel phony theory years ago while the ‘peak oil’ propagandists kept peddling the same old line. Peak oil is nothing more than the precursor to global warming and carbon tax junk science war on carbon. What they will come up with next remains to be seen. Back to the Russians. Their theory is that crude is a natural occurring substance found in the molten center of the earth and works its way out to the ‘relative surface’ of the earth through fissures in the mantel. That is why the the Russians have been drilling down around the 10,000 foot level for a long time. Anyone ought to be able to figure out you do not find many dead dinosaurs down at 10,000 feet.
“Their theory is that crude is a natural occurring substance found in the molten center of the earth and works its way out to the ‘relative surface’ of the earth through fissures in the mantel.”
Only one problem with their theory, why is oil only found in ancient seabeds?
“Anyone ought to be able to figure out you do not find many dead dinosaurs down at 10,000 feet.”
LMAO! Oh you may find one or two along with the billions of tons of micro organisims that settle to the seabeds daily and have for hundreds of millions of years. The fact that oil sample produce fossil molecules is another tell. The sea’s are producing new beds of oil bearing deposits as we type.

To understand it, ask a cook.
When you make a stew or make stock or meat sauce, etc., the fats rise to and pools on the surface.
Skim the fat off and eventually more rises to replace what you've skimmed away, maybe in that same spot, maybe in another.
The same is true for oil and natural gas.
Thanks to the tremendous heat (not quite as high as algore said, but HOT) and pressure, the Earth's core is like a combination pressure cooker/cosmic crock pot/galactic Dutch oven and as a result, oil and gases are constantly rising to the surface.
We have oil sands and tar pits. Oil seeps from cracks in the ocean floor and washes ashore on beaches all over the world. "Up through ground come a bubblin' crude"
As long as the core is cooking, we'll have all the oil and gas we could ever use. We'll skim off the easy finds, just like the chef skimming the fat off soup stock. And we'll have to work very hard to get to some finds, but some wells will never go dry and some of the old dry wells will begin to refill.
Until the Earth's core goes cold, we simply are not going to run out of oil and gas. To say otherwise is manipulation.
