Abiotic oil

This is a topic I have not seen discussed here. I have been following the topic for a couple of years now. I have also talked to a few chemists about the theoretical process of oil being created from nonbiological sources deep in the earth. It appears that the sciences more than plausible but credible. It seems that hydrogen-carbon molecules can indeed be formed under high pressure and high temperature. Just the conditions that are found deep in the earth. So why is there not much noise about abiotic oil?
If you ask “conspiracy theorists” they will say that it's a government cover-up and go on to say that it's a big oil cover up. I don't know that it would be so much of a government cover-up. It seems that the government likes to propagate theories of doom and gloom such as “global warming” and “the killer hole in the ozone layer.” It would also seem to me that big oil would be amenable to abiotic oil because they are primarily in the business of procuring the oil not producing it.
I will publish articles on this forum about this topic. Here is a start:

If you read the attached article you'll see that the brooches a real possible cover-up. I don't think it's a cover-up necessarily of a biotic oil itself but perhaps. Very deep oil, where does it come from? The drilling starts several thousand feet below the sea surface and strikes oil several several thousand feet below the seafloor. I'm just saying, how deep are these dinosaurs (yeah yeah I know see creatures too) buried? Interesting.

Another thought that occurs to me: people, crazy nuts that is, were quick to blame George Bush for the natural catastrophe that was Hurricane Katrina. I am willing to go out on a limb as a nut and say that perhaps Barack Obama had something to do with the oil spill in the Gulf.

One thing that must be kept in mind is the cost. When the cost of producing abiotic oil is similar or less than that of drilling, it will happen. Until then, it is only a drag on the economy.

@Norm: I am glad that you read this stuff. I understand the cost. However the technology to produce deep well drilling exists and this is simply an extension of that. I have also read articles that the seafloor drilling is likely tapping this abiotic source. Furthermore, it would appear that abiotic oil has already been seeping up through the crust as witnessed by abandoned oil wells suddenly refilling with oil.

I think, instead of spending $53 billion on something as silly as a high-speed rail system, real money ought to be spent on such an endeavor as her sewing abiotic oil.

Norm, thank you for a getting involved in this topic.

I'm a scientist by training (biologist, biochemist, chemist), and I have been reading a lot about economics. I'm always interested in the science side of these things. And, my economics perspective says that, if the people in the US wanted a high speed rail, there would be a demand and some NON-governmental person/group would build one. The $53B being flushed for high speed rails, other than a union pay-off, would be much better in the hands of people creating a demand and producers meeting that demand.
