You could look into something that doesn't seem right to me.
Last September, Royal Dutch Shell said it was shrinking it's refining portfolio to "better align with a lower-carbon future". They wanted to focus only on facilities that had both oil refinery & chemical plants... so they were betting on petrochemicals to be the future. (doesn't sound like a lower-carbon future to me... but hey, whatever floats their boat, right?) They said that Shell would retain only 6 facilities, including Norco in Louisiana and the massive Deer Park refinery on the Houston Ship Channel.
Last June or July, a company called ACER made an offer to buy Shell's Convent, La refinery for $1.75 Billion. Shell said no. Then, in November, Shell announced shutting down it's Convent refinery in South Louisiana. They laid off staff, idled the equipment. ACER came back and made another offer to buy the refinery for $1.25 Billion. Shell said no. Another group recently offered Shell $1.0 Billion for the shut facility... and Shell said NO. Basically, they could have made their investment back... but owning an idle facility that is losing value by the month makes zero sense.
Earlier this month, May 2021, Shell announced an agreement to sell it's Puget Sound Refinery to HollyFrontier Corp. for $350 million. That again is a cheap, fire-sale price for their refinery.
This week, Shell announced an agreement to sell it's Deer Park refinery, one of the largest refineries in the world, to Pemex for $600 Million. The facility is worth at least 3X to 4X that amount.
That absolutely makes ZERO sense.
Just 9 months ago, Shell intended to keep it's Deer Park refinery, which is the single largest refinery they own. Now they are selling it quickly and so cheaply?
Something is forcing Shell to make extremely stupid, hasty decisions. They are abandoning reason and selling out as quickly as possible in some areas regardless of loss... and yet they are turning away really good money offers for another idle facility?
When you see panic moves and no future planning from a corporation like that... someone has the management and board of directors spooked.
Nope. The only fossil fuel is coal. Oil is produced by a natural underground process all over the world. Russian scientists have said that for years.
Look up the elements present in crude oil. Then look up the elements found in an animal or plant. You get widely differing lists. Oil is definitely not from compressed dinosaurs or ancient plants.
