I am a geological novice so maybe this is a wrong question. But the idea is to create a thought experiment. How does one "create" petroleum or crude oil for future generations  ? Is it enough to bury a lot of trees underneath the earth at great depths and eventually thousands(maybe hundreds of thousands years) later crude oil is formed  ?
