Aanaerobic decomposition. Just like anearobic digestion of cow shit or garbage in a landfill.

"Aanaerobic decomposition."

Yes. Thanks. I like the phrase, anaerobic decomposition, much more than "metabolizing plant matter."

On oil coming from decomposition of algae and/or other ocean organisms, trillions of microscopic biologists run around the ocean floor to make sure that all of that crude with an API gravity of more than 10 (lighter than water, by far the majority of crude oil) goes down and stays down instead of floating up. ;D

And methane is heavy, too, except for the methane released by mankind's evil drilling (re. temporary ozone depletions). That way, only the carbon is causing global warming. ;D

And there's never any increased outer core movement or occasional deviation of the north magnetic pole to indicate such increase, so the amount of methane leakage always stays the same. ;D

Sorry, got carried away with that sarcasm arousal. The climate change canard is a scam. Mankind's technological ejaculations come nowhere near the magnificent pollution caused by volcanoes, natural methane leakage, wildfires, etc. We're rather impotent in comparison.

On oil, well, yeah. Without some great discovery or invention, at the rate that we're using oil, prices will go up...and up. Seeing what can feasibly be pushed out of the ground at today's low prices, I'd give ten years at the most for adequate realization of the situation (see ultralight roadsters for people and rails for freight).
