"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..

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.

ROFLMAO...need the "Not this **** again photo I think.

Oil has nothing to do with dinosaurs. Oil forms from microscopic marine algae that dies and falls to the ocean floor. As more sediment accumulates it gets buried. Pretty simple.

Anyway, in general it's a bad idea for people that don't have the foggiest idea of what they're talking about to argue with experts in their field. Might want to remember that.

Because the resivore engineer missed it. Because what they thought was a fault that would trap gas wasn't really. But the truth in my industry is that about 90% of all wells drilled produce much less than they originally esitmated. Because geologists and engineers want to be positive. Because companies want to book huge reserves to their P&L so that the stock price is good. You just don't find many wells that produce substantially more than was originally expected. It's almost always the opposite.

It's not a matter of mystery. It's a matter of science.

The fact that there were river beds and lakes 10,000 or more feet deep years ago just tell us that something catclismic happened to our planet at one time or another.
