“Oil is never found igneous rock.”

Actually, a few basins do contain oil found in igneous rock.

Most think the oil is sourced from sedimentary formations.

If my memory is correct, I think Yemen has such fractured basement producers.

Sourced for igneous rock? Or sourced from sedimentary and the containing trap is igneous.

I would really like a link for more information.

Interesting. In 1993~94, I worked Yemen Oil Field in the Masila Block. I have never heard of such a claim.
