Pre-oil is peat. Peat forms where plants grow faster than they decay. Most of the organic matter that forms the peat is roots. The leaves and stems on the surface are exposed to oxygen and decay. But plants sink roots down to the water table to get water and nutrients. When the plant dies, the root dies. The dead root adds to the organic bulk which eventually compacts as the layers build upward until it becomes coal/oil. The key is the carbon content of the air. The higher the CO2, the faster plants grow. The faster plants grow, the wider the area where plant growth surpasses plant decay. In other words carbon is self regulating.
