I see that one of them is rense.com. That's a real blast from the past!
I have two books which report that it's understood within the geological community that 'where' formations are 'discovered', don't necessarily represent the actual 'source.'
'Migration' is kind of a given, as it's believed that ALL crude oil originates in 'Shale', but could end up in any water-filled strata of greater porosity until finally arrested by some impermeable rock or salt dome.
Fault lines and fissures would be 'highways' where oil could communicate elsewhere.
If the 'source' had not been exhausted, after a formation had played out, oil would simply continue migrating and recharge it. It's just driven by specific gravity/ buoyancy.
