Oil wells do not produce just oil....coming up from underground with the oil are many products including natural gas, carbon dioxide, water, sand, sulfur, etc.....

The mixture is run thru separators that separate the products, and send them on their way to be used elsewhere, however many of the oilfields do not have anywhere to put the gas, water, and carbon dioxide because there are no existing pipelines to put them into, so they repressurize these products via pumps and compressors and send them back underground so that they can be reclaimed again in the future.

This practice helps maintain pressure on the oilfield and helps it produce more oil for a longer period of time....it does not turn natural gas into oil..

There is no natural gas pipeline coming out of Alaska's oilfields so most of them send thier gas back underground.

This is not idiotology....it is good conservation of resources.

Yep........it is a conspiracy.......the oil companies are hiding all the methane in the oil. Pretty soon, the only way to get methane will be to go to Taco Bell.
