Now once you've gotten your feet wet and you are ready for some level 2 material. Go to Google Scholar and search for abiotic petroleum. Like this:
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?h...%2C37&as_sdtp=
Once you do that you can start to find articles like this one:
http://www.pnas.org/content/99/17/10976.short
It's abstract says:
"The high-pressure genesis of petroleum hydrocarbons has been demonstrated using only the reagents solid iron oxide, FeO, and marble, CaCO3, 99.9% pure and wet with triple-distilled water."
Notice no dinosaurs were injured in the production of that petroleum.
Now does that prove what I originally said which was something like "most if not all petroleum is abiotic"? No of course not. But it's the next step. You've already learned a great deal about the subject. And now you should continue digging more. More scholarly abstracts, and then search for refutations also published in the journals to the original article.
What's really crazy about this particular subject is that despite it being a "conspiracy theory" it's actually a very active and serious debate in the scientific community. You're going to find articles aplenty on both sides of the debate.
I've read a lot of this stuff, hundreds of hours on this specific subject. I have my opinions about it. And after I learned a ton about the science of it, I sat back and thought "if this is true, would the oil companies try to hide it"? Or less conspiratorial "If this was true, would it harm the profits of oil companies"? The answer to that is an obvious yes, which in my opinion is the reason there is any debate at all over the subject. To me the science is very clear, abotic petroleum.
Enjoy your red pill!
