Does it have carbon? Was it ever alive?
Those are pertinent questions to answering your own inquiry, Healey, IMO. :D

It almost sounds planned, or arranged, or created with purpose, doesn't it. (OK, Rufybabes, let me have it. I can [still] take it. :mrgreen: :D )

However, I can understand how "played out" wells can "refill" w/o that contradicting the organic decay theories
More on this, please


Fluids flow from place to place given pressure and opportunity; pumping stuff out creates vacancy whereby existing fluid from elsewhere over time may flow into said vacant space over time. The earth is not static.



Great example of that process here in OK is caused by the fracking pukes trying to extract more oil out of the earth. Fracking fluids are seeking out closed wells and flowing up and out onto the ground, polluting ponds, streams and ??? Gets into water wells too, which destroys personal property values and worse.

But, the oil people will fight it and deny it vehemently. One thing I've learned in the 12 years living in OK, is that oil people are even worse than politicians. And the states that have oil, allow them to destroy the environment for the short term windfall it provides those states coffers.

Oil Industry=Lying Sluts.

And all that petroleum was created as a result of a sea and swamps that ran right up the center of the continent, extending into what is now Canada. It sure cleaved the USA into two "halves."

Where did all that sand come from?

(Sources: I Yahoo'd "Ancient sea in the middle of USA"; plus, my geology classes and textbooks.)

Everything? Really? Everything you need is available? Wars have been, are, and will be fought over what people need. Massive famines and doughts with millions dead but we have everything we need and it's available?

So if that's true then there's no need to do anything at all and everything you need is just outside on your porch?

I wouldn't know as I have never bought anything from Amazon. Continue on with your prime account to make Bezo the richest man in the world. Oh wait, he is now the richest man in the world.

Amazing, 10 years ago there were people predicting that Walmart was going to rule the world in retail. :mrgreen:

I don't have a Prime account. I do now and again buy a CD there that I cannot find elsewhere at a better price. My wife buys stuff there since they actually do sell what she wants that she cannot find elsewhere.

Funny how people so dislike a man that's succeeded in business to be a billionaire in the US following the American Dream.....

Yes, I never understood that thinking. Many of the massive discount warehouse stores are struggling to survive. Costco though is thriving; Jim Cramer loves them!

The only thing I don't like about the billionaires is that today they try to influence the way people live.
At one time J. Paul Getty was the richest man and nobody knew what he ate or cared.

Nah. We still have free will. WE have to place an order/make a request. Work.
