Ping. Has anything been said about this in your industry? I thought I read about old wells being found to have “refilled” when drillers went back to see if they could get anything out of them.

.....old wells being found to have “refilled”.......

One example is the oil field under downtown Los Angeles. Most of it was pumped dry 50 - 60 years ago, but starting about ten years ago, they found that the fields had refilled to such an extent that oil was seeping into the sewer system.

In any production well drilled you can only effectively extract 30% of the oil and every 10 or 20 years you can rework the well with new technologies and extract additional oil if it is cost effective.

As far as abiotic oil is concerned, it is a hoax. If it were not a hoax the Russians who have been claiming to have abiotic oil would see their production increase.

I read the same thing a couple of years ago! This would explain how it happens.
