Plus commercial oil production that come from the infra-Cambrian reservoirs in Oman and Yemen and so on. Of course, a lot of oil and gas shows/manifestations across the globe.
There is no doubt that the life and organic matter (OM) have raised even before the Proterozoic. For instance, fhe 2.1 Ga old the Lower Proterozoic black shales of the Francevillian Series (Gabon), contains one of the greatest accumulations of uranium-hydrocarbon association of its age. In fact the life and OM related managed to emerge on Earth very rapidly almost soon after the oceans had appeared on the surface of the Earth. Why is the Vindhyan during Proterozoic Eon should be beyond this trend?

Dear Kenneth. The organic carbon content of Archean sediments is now very low because the most part of it was destroyed. I agree with Vitality A. Pryvalov. The ingredients for petroleum generation after the life emergence are the same as today. Accumulation of anoxic shale, reservoir and sealing rocks, action geothermal heat, tectonics and migration of oil. In some cases stratigraphic traps can accumulate oil.
