Creationists explain the origin of oil?

Oil pulled from 20,000 feet deep and even from the bottom of the ocean was all put there by the Great Flood according to YECs. That flood was evidently so great it must have even washed the oceans away to get all that organic material buried that far down. How did that Ark with all those millions of life forms on board ever survive 40 days of rain like that?

The Ark represent Christ and back by the Word of God. It's impossible for the Ark to sink since God gave His Word.

I do not see any information about the origin of oil in this OP.
Oil is derived from thermally altered organic material. Creationists agreed on that.

God created the oil for use in future dispensations (viz., today).

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

The "kings" (scientists) of our days searched -- and found.

Because

1) you forget the waters of the deep also opened up, bringing silt, mud, etc when they all erupted.

http://biblehub.com/genesis/7-11.htm

http://www.livescience.com/1312-huge-ocean-discovered-earth.html

3 times what you see on the surface, so 3 times the amount of sedimentary material you imagine being available when the ground opened up. And 3 times the amount of water available than you account for - so it needn't rained as hard as you imagine it must have.

Not that I support YEC, it is clearly an incorrect interpretation of scripture. But your own claim ignores what else occurred with those underground oceans erupting.

EDIT:
Not that we actually need to consider the "claimed" time-frame for the production of oil as anything closely resembling reality.

Got to love technological advancements - takes away mainstream's excuses one by one.
