can any Freeper direct me to scientific publications that explain a process that could result in the production and the locational concentration of deposits of petroleum?

Can you explain more what you are looking for?

You talk about a process for production and for locational concentration of deposits?

Oil and gas are always sourced to sedimentary basins. Does that help?

I wish to have an explanation, admittedly theoretical, from scientists that have studied and pondered this matter, as to how petroleum was/is “formed,” and how it became locationally concentrated. What evidence is there of its derivation from the bodies of once-living creatures, and what were the transformative processes that drove it? No doubt there exists textbooks and journal articles relating the relevant deductions of inquiring scientific minds, and how they reached the conclusions that they did.
