Until they find significant amounts of hydrocarbons in igneous or metamorphic rock formations, that is what we have to go with.

Makes me want to tell you a true story.

I wrote this somewhere else so I’ll copy and paste it. Ok can’t find it, here is the shortened version. I will voice type so forgive me of errors:

My father used to do some wildcat drilling after he retired from education and I was probably in my 20s this is been no more like 30 is this is probably been 30 years ago or so 25 years ago and we were drilling one well and needed a part and we heard about a big drill site that was in Kentucky, Central Kentucky that had the part that we could either buy or borrow up I can’t remember so we drove over to it and it was a major oil companies such as a shell or a marathon etc. and I’ve got to see the rig and I start walking around I was marveling at how incredibly huge the rig was and nice. start talking to the men who work there and they said it was a special test well and they had spent thousands upon hundreds of thousands of dollars and what they were doing……

Seems they were actually performing a special test well they were going to try to drill down to the basement , the bottom of the basement and look for the presents hydrocarbons . the test failed because they drilled so deep. The temperatures increase so incredibly high but there steel bits were starting to get soft and melt all the results of this test was the deeper they got the fewer hydrocarbons that they found so actually disproved the hypothesis that oil is produced deep deeply inside of the Earth from mineral chemical changes it did in fact, support the theory of oil and natural gas, and so forth are, in fact, fossil fuels from fossils of living life forms.

This is what I saw, heard, felt…I was there.

How about outside a sedimentary basin?
