I read somewhere years ago in a magazine my grandpa had that said that the mantle is mainly composed of oil and igneous rock. as the core spins and generates magnetic energy, it slowly pushes the oil upwards as spaces are emptied (i.e. by drilling). There is more oil within the earth than any other substance besides carbon, iron, and nickel.
