What forms the oil you steal from MOTHER EARTH?

The Earth might be your mother, but it is not mine. I do not steal any oil from the Earth. I am entitled to it. Econazis need to get a life.
When microscopic organisms called foraminifera are buried by sediment, then cooked by heat and pressure for a very long time, they turn into oil. If you made your compost heap ten miles high and waited a million years, you might get oil.
Fossils dont turn into rocks and oil is actualy composed of small organisms that were buried underground millions of years ago and the pressure and heat changed the organisms into oil. Your rottening plant life turned into soil because it wasnt buried deep underground and because oil takes millions of years to form.
Flora and maybe some fauna, too.
But if it's theft then so is the food we eat - which grows from the oceans and farmlands we cultivate and harvest and residue from which future millenia might steal as fossil fuel.
I'd underline 'fossil' since boldface type scares some people and I can't italicize.
Plants and animals.
The differenc between them and your compost heap is that they are covered with silt and then over a long time subjected to very high pressure, and this pressure produces heat. Then, all the carbon and stuff forms polymer chains and makes oil and coal.
All oil companies are guilty of this. its a fact of life
Oil is derived from small crustaceans from millions of years ago that decomposed under immense pressure and heat and turned to petroleum from which we derive petrol oil.
There are other types of oil such as oil from rapeseed, olives, flax however they used in food and beauty products.
Just like you cannot bury a lump of coal in your compost heap then one day find a diamond does not mean that diamonds don't come from carbon.
Organic matter such as plant matter,marine and freshwater photosynthetic organisms and beds of coal. Hey! Just a theory.
If Im not mistaken, coal forms most of the crude oil that we harvest but yes, fossils do compose some of it as well though the exact mechanics escape me at this time.
Dinosaur Sauce;-) Oil is also in sand, but extremely hard and expensive to refine from it.
Yes I believe so !
