Sorry, I should have posted that to newfreep.
Ahhh, Caesars Creek. Just before it was flooded to become a lake, it was opened to allow tree cutting to get firewood. Free. I cut enough to fill 2 large pick-ups.
That was a few years ago.

From the wiki entry for petroleum:
More specifically, crude oil and natural gas are products of heating of ancient organic materials (i.e. kerogen) over geological time. Formation of petroleum occurs from hydrocarbon pyrolysis, in a variety of mostly endothermic reactions at high temperature and/or pressure.[15] Today's oil formed from the preserved remains of prehistoric zooplankton and algae, which had settled to a sea or lake bottom in large quantities under anoxic conditions (the remains of prehistoric terrestrial plants, on the other hand, tended to form coal). Over geological time the organic matter mixed with mud, and was buried under heavy layers of sediment resulting in high levels of heat and pressure (diagenesis). This process caused the organic matter to change, first into a waxy material known as kerogen, which is found in various oil shales around the world, and then with more heat into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons via a process known as catagenesis.

Interesting video. It is one heck of a big platform that is for certain. Hopefully the site will yield the max oil extraction predicted.
