When ANYONE says that OIL is a fossil fuel...ask them the question:
IF oil is a fossil fuel then how come the dinosaurs that roamed the earth and find the bones that are made from Calcium, how in God's green earth did those calcified bones become a fossil fuel??????
Being that I am from Texas, oil wells quit producing are capped, during the duration of being capped they are checked once-in-awhile to see if there is anything in the well...GUESS WHAT???? THERE IS...it is freaking OIL...God made this earth to be self regenerative and has done so since the 1920's and before that...
These ECO freaks can go and blow that smoke they are selling down a dirty well and see what happens......😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I'm from Texas too and you are 100% correct. When I was a kid, we bought some property that had a capped well on it but we didn't get the mineral rights with the land. Several years later we had to let the original owners who still owned the mineral rights install a pump jack because the well had come back to life so to speak. We didn't make anything off of the well but we did get to charge them for the road access and road repair costs because we put the road in.
I wish we did get the mineral rights because they discovered the old surveys were wrong and there was also a lot of natural gas. I think they stopped extracting the oil and started pumping out the natural gas for a while. I suspect this is going to be going on a lot now that the entire area has been developed. Once you get about 30 miles west of Houston, there are huge deposits of both oil and natural gas and I understand that the oil is of the light, sweet variety that's cheaper to refine.
All that is needed for oil is carbon and hydrogen. Most crude oil also has some other contaminants like sulfur which must be removed in the refining process. Fossils contain all of those elements. I'm not sure where you got this information, but either someone misinformed you or you have oversimplified what they were trying to say.
Why are people Downvoting you with no response? This is true. Oil and all of its derivatives are just that, hydrocarbons. I’d love the source of the “chemists” that have shown this firmly established chemistry is false.
I'm not an expert on the subject, but I think you have understood the statement backwards.
It's not that 'all that is needed is carbon and hydrogen', it's that decaying plant and animal matter contain other elements that are not found in oil.
As a (hypothetical) example, if a certain percentage of decaying animal matter is calcium from bones, why don't we see that same percentage of calcium in the oil? (Or at least, why is there not enough calcium to account for the bones, etc.)
This is answered if you’d like, by the fact that oil
IS in fact pretty unique to where it’s coming from due to the variables in what creates it and the reservoir itself. Oil refineries themselves aren’t all uniform, they are unique to their feedstock, even if the principles are the same. Sour oil for instance, is crude oil with very high levels of sulfur, and a refinery that refines a more standard crude would face catastrophic difficulties in refining it.
Either way, the hydrocarbon is the only bit that matters, the other trace elements don’t occur in large quantities, and part of the refining process itself implies things like calcium are “processed” out and left for the “bottom of the barrel” which is fuel that giant ships run, and it’s most certainly got all sorts of random components in its general makeup.
I'm not sure if you don't understand the issue, or you are trying to be evasive.
The answer does not lie in 'what was processed out', but what is in the raw crude that comes out of the ground. Is there calcium (for instance) in the crude? And if not, how could it have been made from animal matter?
Chemists have shown that the components of oil could not come from decayed plants and animals. There are many elements missing.

Good on Ya'!!!! Outstanding...People just didn't know back then that the mineral have to be CONVEYED when selling the land...OOOOPS...

The earth is like a CSTR, a constantly stirred tank reactor. Whatever the reactants are they keep being stirred and oil is the result.
We're lied to about pretty much everyrhing. But at least people are stsrting to see it. Well, maybe 25% of us.

I learned this long ago, but it happens to be in this video as well.
