Could there be oil on Mars? For some reason, I started wondering about this. It seems theoretically possible, albeit unlikely. [Albeit is our vocabulary flash card for the day.]
If there was life at one time on Mars, perhaps when it was a wetter planet, organisms could have lived, died and become buried in the same manner that precipitated oil formation on Earth.
At least that's my theory. Comments from folks with more knowledge in the geobiology of oil formation are most welcome.
One thing seems certain. It wouldn't be very economical to transport for use on Earth.
