We are told it takes vast amounts of time to form oil. However, oil can be produced today from garbage within a few hours. Naturally formed young oil has also been discovered coming out of undersea volcanic vents (1 mile deep) in the Guyamas Basin between mainland Mexico and Baja California. This young oil baffled researchers but showed oil can form rapidly. It is either being produced quickly as organic material circulates through and is naturally refined into oil within the vent, or chemicals from deep within the earth are refined into oil as they migrate to the surface.
