I appreciate your analysis and you have a far greater grasp of the subject than I do - I can understand how frustrating this can be for you - but I'm still not sold on organic sediment becoming petroleum.
We would probably agree on a thousand other topics, though!

A question then:

The drilling for oil has clearly shown it it layers, trapped beneath different impermeable rock layers that hold the oil. If these cap rock layers didn't exist, the oil would not be trapped there.

How do you think that oil moved above one cap layer to then reside beneath another cap layer, but is still trapped beneath the lower layers as well?

And these oil deposits contain microfossils. And oil found under the same surface area, often have greatly different qualities like sweet/sour, heavy light, etc.

You might also consider to date, petroleum geologist following the "theories" of biotic oil production laid down in layers of sediment produce oil.

Aboitic theorist have produced cash from gullible investors and sometimes governments, but no commercial oil.
