This is speculation on my part.
Petroleum is altered quickly if subjected to high heat.
The lighter gas and volatiles will vent off threw cracks and fractures as well
as into the air.
Based on these characteristics it appears to me the process of converting the
meat to oil was a short term event and probable the heat and pressure
conditions did not occur again.
