"Burying the sediments, or the oil, deeper than 15,000 feet continues the molecular breaking until the remaining product has only one carbon atom per molecule. That gas, almost pure methane (CH4) is often referred to as "dry" natural gas. The limit of 15,000 feet is the bottom of the oil window." -- Kenneth Deffeyes
This doesn't predict what you think it predicts - the key word in the passage is
continues - you assume that a conversion to methane happens istantaneously. Neither your messy hypothesis nor the theory of a biotic origin of oil predicts an instant transformation - proved by the very fact that the oil is there.
Therefore this does not lend any support to you and does not violate a biotic origin of oil.
The temperatures and pressures above 15,000 feet TVD aren't sufficient to create petroleum. That would violate the laws of thermodynamics.
Kenney's assertion ignores the fact all of life relies on being in thermodynamic disequilibrium with its environment - as such it is merely an unproven assertion.

Unfortunately for you water is heavier than oil and oil migrates up not down which is why we used to see blowouts not blowdowns.
You have been proven wrong on this on 3 separate occasions now - if you continue to simply repeat arguments you have lost parrot fashion, then the continued owning of you by me is going to lose its entertainment value.
"The bulk of the world's production comes from organic-rich deposits laid down in two exceptional epochs of extreme global warming 90 and 150 million years ago." -- Colin Campbell
"The bulk of the world's oil was formed at just two very brief moments of extreme global waming 90 and 150 million years ago." -- Colin Campbell
Nevermind the fact that oil has been drilled from precambrian sediments.
Only an idiot indeed.
The key word you are looking for here is bulk - yet again an example of poor comprehension of the english language - or a selective mental filter that prevents you from seeing anything that disagrees with you.
Have you ever heard of Morton's Demon?
Kenney named as drilling manager of siljan ring project here:

The 80 barrels of oily sludge (not oil) recovered from the siljan ring was made up of the diesel pumped into the hole to lubricate the drill bit.
Even if it had been abiotic, the price of extraction was $750,000 per barrel.

so the quotation from I provided some time ago Barry Katz, a ChevronTexaco Fellow still stands utterly uncontested by you - and contradicts several of your assertions.
Katz said Western science recognizes that abiogenic hydrocarbons can result from natural processes, including the possibility of hydrocarbons originating at great depth.
"I don't think anybody's arguing that gas couldn't be generated from the mantle," he said.
However, even the Russian scientists he has worked with accept the organic origin of petroleum found in large, commercial accumulations.
"I have yet to have anyone show me that there are commercial quantities of these hydrocarbons," Katz said.
"I'm a scientist, so I have to keep an open mind. But I need to see some evidence."
May I suggest that if you want a robust discussion, you take a time out - learn some geology - actually
read your sources, and then start from the beginning by writing an integrated synthesis of the current state of abiotic origin research in your own words.
Ps - I checked some of your earlier posts out this morning - I laughed so hard that I sprayed coffee all over my computer screen when I saw you pretend that you teach petroleum geology - some even came out of my nose

The only job you'll ever get in the petroleum industry is working as a gas station attendant
