Could be there is some process (microbe or not) that converts methane into hydrocarbons... Meaning methane is the source for natural oil generation.. Methane and “oil” are frequently found close together.. Maybe “oil” deposits were once methane deposits..

Possibly methane can be made into “oil” and “oil” can be made into methane.. if the process was known.... Could be possible to enhance a planet increasing methane “production”.. you know “aiding” the process..

Wonder if this “MEME” has been entertained..
Could be “oil” coming from “dinos”(plants) is pure bull squirt..

Oil breaks down into methane naturally. The Fischer–Tropsch process goes the other way. It is what the Germans used in WWII to make synthetic fuel. However we haven't found the process operating in nature.
