Try reversing that - oil makes CO2 when it burns.

The problem with CO2 to oil is that it takes plants plus animals plus sunlight hundreds of millions of years to pull that trick.

How do producers use CO2?

Oil producers use carbon dioxide in enhanced recovery operations to recover more oil from depleted formations. To do this they pump carbon dioxide into strategically placed wells to drive the oil towards an extraction well. The oil enhances recovery by driving the oil along and by reducing the viscosity by reducing the average molecular weight of the oil. Thinner oil flows better. The carbon dioxide is obtained from manufacturers, carbon dioxide wells and from the produced oil.
