If Oil comes from dead dinosaurs, and plants. Why do we have to drill thousands of feet to reach it? Did dinosaurs live thousands of feet beneath the planets surface?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Interesting!!!!!!!!

Consider a human being. He lives his life, and then dies. Human body then can be used as a source of energy, quite simply, by burning it.

Do you know how much energy needed to burn a human body? It will not burn by itself. Go by a big chunk of beef and try to set it on fire.

Skeptic's Dictionary - http://skepdic.com/shc.html

The ignition point of human fat is low and to get the fire going would require an external source. Once ignited, however, a "wick effect" from the body's fat would burn hot enough in certain places to destroy even bones. To prove that a human being might burn like a candle, Dr. John de Haan of the California Criminalistic Institute wrapped a dead pig in a blanket, poured a small amount of gasoline on the blanket, and ignited it. Even the bones were destroyed after five hours of continuous burning. The fat content of a pig is very similar to the fat content of a human being. The damage to the pig, according to Dr. De Haan "is exactly the same as that from supposed spontaneous human combustion."

A National Geographic special on SHC showed a failed attempt to duplicate the burning pig experiment. However, it is obvious that the failure was due to leaving the door to the room open to the outside, which created a draft and led to the flames igniting everything in the room. Had the room been closed up, as are the rooms in which many of the elderly persons have died in fires attributed to SHC, it is likely that the pig would have smoldered for several hours without the rest of the room becoming engulfed in flames.

stuff gets buried over time

the oil reserves are from the cambrian, devonian and the pennsylvanian period, which were much much older. hence further down

the dinosaurs, are from the triassic, jurrasic, and cretacious, much later and in shale-rock, for shale surface oil

Geologists view crude oil and natural gas as the product of compression and heating of ancient organic materials (i.e. kerogen) over geological time. Formation of petroleum occurs from hydrocarbon pyrolysis, in a variety of mostly endothermic reactions at high temperature and/or pressure.[13] Today's oil formed from the preserved remains of prehistoric zooplankton and algae, which had settled to a sea or lake bottom in large quantities under anoxic conditions (the remains of prehistoric terrestrial plants, on the other hand, tended to form coal). Over geological time the organic matter mixed with mud, and was buried under heavy layers of sediment resulting in high levels of heat and pressure (known as diagenesis). This caused the organic matter to chemically change, first into a waxy material known as kerogen which is found in various oil shales around the world, and then with more heat into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons in a process known as catagenesis.

Geologists often refer to the temperature range in which oil forms as an "oil window"[14]—below the minimum temperature oil remains trapped in the form of kerogen, and above the maximum temperature the oil is converted to natural gas through the process of thermal cracking. Although this temperature range is found at different depths below the surface throughout the world, a typical depth for the oil window is 4–6 km. Sometimes, oil which is formed at extreme depths may migrate and become trapped at much shallower depths than where it was formed. The Athabasca Oil Sands is one example of this.

Actually, one of the theories gaining steam at present is that it's not dead animal material (dinosaurs, etc) that have turned into gasoline but dead PLANT material that had been reduced via decomposition under ever-packed layers of earthen sediment that have resulted in our dwindling oil supplies.

Think of it- there supposedly weren't that many in the way of dinosaurs on the planet millions of years ago, but there was a TREMENDOUS amount of foliage and plant life, which could be covered up via violent changes in climate.
