Eventually, all of the lighter components would cook out and evaporate and you would be left with a pile of crap,

Thanks for the correction. Aren't Java and Borneo over a subduction zone? Or was all the oil there shallow. I'm not familiar with the fields, just know from WWII history that there were big fields in the region.

There are subduction zones nearby but the fields are several miles away. I tried to google a map to show this but they weren’t very clear. The subduction zones would be the big deep trenches.
