Considering oil forms under compression of trees and the like, doesn’t that mean there must have been a lot of life and vegetation there a long time ago? Why did all of that dissappear and only leave mostly barren wasteland?

Most oil is from algae not trees. It basically says that that area was underwater at some point and most deserts were. There is a spot in New Mexico where this mountain at the very top has all these fish fossils. It’s kinda wild. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucumcari_Formation
