you see oil is compressed and heated up(due to compresion)
organic matter(like corpses and plants and stuff) and you see,we have oil evevry where,or atleast in alot of places,and it is at random depths,
so you see to create all the oil in the world there had to be a global flood.

1a. An area having a wet, spongy, acidic substrate composed chiefly of sphagnum moss and peat in which characteristic shrubs and herbs and sometimes trees usually grow.
1b. Any of certain other wetland areas, such as a fen, having a peat substrate. Also called peat bog. 2. An area of soft, naturally waterlogged ground. [Irish Gaelic bogach, from bog, soft. See bheug- in Indo-European Roots.] The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Copyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Again, what does a bog have to do with anything? "Geology of the Tar Pits The McKittrick Tar Pits sit on the westside of the San Joaquin Valley where stream gravels, alluvial sands, and lacustrine clays cover older marine rocks that are rich in oil. Like most oils in California, the oil beneath the tar pits formed from bits of organic matter, called kerogen, preserved in shales of the Miocene Monterey Formation. Most of the Monterey kerogen represents the preserved bodies of microscopic organisms, such as diatoms, that live suspended in the upper few meters of the ocean. The Monterey Formation contains so many diatoms that it is known as a diatomaceous shale. The combined effects of heat and time slowly converted the soft parts of the diatoms into liquid oil. At the same time, movements along the San Andreas fault folded and cracked the Monterey and overlying rocks to create pathways along which the oil could migrate. Some of the oil became trapped beneath a cap of Monterey Shale that appears to have slid off the mountain sides of the adjacent Temblor Range in the distant geologic past. Most of the seeps at McKittrick are found where erosion has removed the Monterey cap rock and exposed porous and permeable sandstone beds of the underlying Tulare Formation. Click here to see a cross-section of what the geology looks like. The McKittrick oils leaked up to the surface through fractures, faults, and permeable beds of sandstone. As oil seeped out into low-lying areas, shallow pools of sticky asphalt formed. These pools remain today as the oil continues to seep up just as it has for hundreds of thousands of years. Bacterial action near the surface, called biodegradation, together with evaporation and oxidation converts this liquid oil into the heavy asphaltum of the tar seeps." source: http://www.sjgs.com/tarpits_geol.html What do tar pits have to do with anything?

Actually, if my memory of high school science is correct, compressed peat (as well as other vegetable matter)is the initial stage for COAL formation. Wrong fossil fuel.
