Peak Oil also ignored the fact that, although oil is lighter than the surrounding liquids, and rises, it is found up to five miles down. That’s well below any fossils ever laid down. This strongly implies that oil is produced, not be fossils, but by something else. The hot biosphere has been proposed as an ecology living deep in the Earth’s crusts. If that’s so, then the supply of oil will last as long as the Earth does.

Bring back the 426 Hemi! Yeah!

“That’s well below any fossils ever laid down”

The Anadarko Basin have sediments the reach 8 miles in depth. Those sediments were laid down on what was a sea bed. Most oil is not formed by dinasours but by microscope life in the sea that died a was covered by sediment over millions of years.

False, it is only found in Sedimentary Rock laid down from the surface. It is always found with microscopic fossils and other biotic material.

There is not any commercial oil production outside of sedimentary basins.

That may sound too deep for you. But oil if found from ancient sea floors. 1 inch compacted sediment per thousand years for 400 million years is 6.3 miles deep.

Opposing "Peak Oil" has nothing to do with accepting abiogenic oil.

All of the shale oil obtained by fracking is "fossil fuel" and it was all discovered by people that believe oil comes from fossil marine and lacustrine plankton.

Because of subduction processes, it's absolutely NOT true that there are no fossils 5 miles down; fossil-bearing layers go far deeper than that.

Well, hydrocarbons have been detected in comets and asteroids as well as in the atmospheres of other planets and moons. I think it’s quite reasonable to assume hydrocarbons are abiotic.

Hydrocarbons are one of the building blocks for life imo. Particularly after seeing the algae and fish blooms which followed the Deepwater Horizon “tradgedy”.

YES! Just like ALL life is a result of Photosynthesis. Until, OOPS, we discovered an abundance of life on the ocean floor where there is no light.

Like all “scientific theories”, they’re true until they aren’t anymore.
