The Earths Core is creating the Oil a sending it to us for free
The Abiotic Theory of Oil. That theory has a lot of sensible evidence behind it. We are a carbon ball surrounded by various gasses held into an atmosphere. The ridiculous notion that ALL the world's petroleum was created by fossil degeneration processes is ludicrous. If that was the only case, oil would exists every where there has been flora and fauna.
The peak-oil theory was "created" and it is constantly proving false. Yes. Decomposing animal and plant life will, eventually, produce oil. But not in the quantities that it is found. It takes time, but oil is indeed produced within the earth. The existence of shale oil proves that and disproves fossil(only) fuel bunk.

Another consideration against the fossil theory is that oil and especially gas have been found very very deep. Deeper than tectonic processes could take organic materials in the time since life began on this planet over 500 million years ago.
