Coal, gas, and oil are not exclusive to individual formations. There are coal bed methane wells all across norther New Mexico, and there are coal bed gas wells all over Wyoming. The coal bed wells in norther New Mexico also produce a light crude or or in some cases condensate (raw liquid gasoline).
I believe it is the condition under which the reservoirs were formed that determine if coal is the end product or oil is the end product. Gas is produced in both processes.
I want to look into the whole subject in more detail to see if abiotic oil can be excluded or what proportion it makes. I was a peak oiler for many years, reading The Oil Drum and other sites. After all that, I still don't know what is true and what isn't when it comes to reserves.
We were supposed to have had "peak oil" back in the 70s, but here we are almost 50 years later still pumping enough for everything in the world to keep running, with no real end in sight.
Crude oil is all provably abiotic, not dead dinosaurs or ferns. The composition is too different.
