"a product of planet creation?"
I would appreciate it if you would expand on that. You and I might have some common ground here.
Per Wiki:
"Abiogenic petroleum origin is a term used to describe a number of different hypotheses which propose that petroleum and natural gas are formed by inorganic means rather than by the decomposition of organisms."
In the past few years, fields thought depleted started producing again. Its believed the oil seeped up fro deep within the earth. Also, oil was found below bed rock, where oil, if organic should not be found.
Some gases associated with NG, such as methane, have been identified on the moons of the gas giants.
