Thanks for that troubleshooter, I had heard of the "hot deep" theory before.

I have downloaded Gold's 1992 paper and will study it at dept when I have time.

One thing strikes me is if oil is a renewable resource why did oil production in the US peak in 1970 and why has it not recovered yet?

perhaps it is possible that oil is a biotic product but the process of it's biotic creation is slow and reservoirs can be emptied and only refill in timescales that are of no use to Mankind
