Don't you think, this is getting too far away from the subject in
question? (it started with discussions about dimensions and their meanings).
Anyhow, Prudhoe Bay in Alaska is a very interesting subject. I recall to
have seen a film about a priest, named Lindsay Williams, ranting against
big oil-companies. (A pretty dubious story altogether ...)

Actually I think, that oil is not fossilized biomass, but comes from
deep inside in the inner earth. The why and hows about this idea is
another interesting, but very different and difficult subject.
This has to do with what is called 'growing earth hypothesis'. And that
comes from a different concept about matter (what would lead -btw- back
to the subject).
The oil is found according to this theory at certain locations, because
there the crust is thinner or 'cracks' break it open from inside. This
comes due to the process of expansion, that forces bigger pieces to
drift apart and thins certain areas in between, generally at ocean
slopes, because the ocean floor is actually newer crust.
Or we have larger cracks, if plates break (like an upside V), what
enables the hydrocarbons to raise (what seems to be the case in
Saudi-Arabia). So that stuff is the lighter fraction and the movable
part of the material, the Earth gathers as new matter in the stream of
time. The very light is e.g. carbon-dioxide, that puffs out of volcanoes
occasionally.
Even as this idea was known in the early 20th century, it was replaced
with a blunder called 'plate tectonics'.
