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?

To add, yes there is a LOT of oil in the Middle East, it is exponentially easier to get to. With drilling like places in the GoM, you have to also deal with all the water above the rock. Safety is probably the biggest factor. A blowout on land? I mean yeah it’s dangerous but just drive away. Can’t really swim away from an offshore one.
