Many petroleum rich areas are located within the Chicxulub impact effects radius, including Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana. Cantarell, a supergiant petroleum field, is located directly within the impact crater. Did Chicxulub play any role in creating and/or preserving proto-petroleum fields to the modern day (especially through the creation of caprock), or are the petroleum rich areas found nearby just a coincidence due to the large area within the effects radius?
