There is much evidence that deep reserves of hydrocarbon fuels replenish the shallow oil fields."

LOL.... this reads like these oil fields are underground storage tanks or something. The only place they find oil and gas is in sand that is surrounded by shale or whatever to trap the oil and gas. It would be crazy to argue that we can't pump it out and aren't useing it faster than it is "replenished" if that's what you really want to believe is happening.

I've been in the oil and gas industry since 1980. I don't know of a single time that a well was depleted and a few years later oil showed up in the same zone.... mysteriously... like it was being replenished. The only way we'll keep up with demand is by find oil in new zones. And that becomes more expensive all of the time as it generally requires deeper and deeper drilling, in new wells and existing wells.

What do you think about what Nathan Zachary says in reply 36?

I am curious, I have heard off and on over the years that there is some regenerative source for oil and gas.

And it has always seemed impossible to me that oil should come from coral reefs; as it is depicted in the museum in Midland.

Just because you haven't worked them, doesn't mean that it's not happening. There are plenty of them. Eugene Island is just one example. It does refill itself.

Not every oil field shares this phenomenon, it could be that the fissures, cracks or whatever closed up and those fields are no longer being formed/filled by the Abiotic process. It's not as you described, but rather a continuous process which happens deep within the earth.

The fossil fuel theory is just plain rediculous, it defies logic, and has NO proof to back it up. How did these dinosaurs end up 5 miles below the earth under bedrock anyways? It makes much more sense that oil is formed, or the process begins much further down, and makes it's way to these cavities through fissures. There are many wells that have continued producing far beyond what their estimated capacity was. Why?

There's more tech info here if you are so inclined.
