Actually, there are repurcussions of oil being drawn out of the ground. Think about it. If you have two metal plates rubbing together, they do it a lot better if there is a layer of oil between them. Same with layers of rocks in the earth. The oil deposits make the slips slide past one another a bit easier and a lot of small earthquakes instead of the energy of compression or expansion building and building and then bursting in one humungus earthquake. The same with water being drawn out of the water table, water is a good lube too. We are doing it to ourselves, just ask the Chinese and the Indonesians about it.

Is there any kind of scientific knowledge in your statement?

no. layers of rock in the ground don't move relative to each other. tectonic plates do.

Yes, and tectonic plates are resting on molten rock anyway. Certainly well below the depths which you will find oil.

...and actually if you look ta a pice of rock in which the oil is absorbed it looks dry...

The repercussions are that if we don't do it, we can all live like they did during the U.S. Civil War.

You probably forgot to put the plug back in the oil pan.

I imagine a huge void in the earth below the middle east...where the oil used to be.
Some day the entire region will collapse upon itself and be destroyed.

It means you have to wear a hoop skirt and eat chitlins for breakfast.
