Only one very tiny oil field, Eugene Island block 330, has shown any evidence of refilling.

Production from Eugene Island had achieved 20,000 barrels per day (3,200 m³/d) by 1989; by 1992 it had slipped to 15,000 bbl/d (2,400 m³/d), but recovered to reach a peak of 30,000 bbl/d (4,800 m³/d) in 1996. Production from the reservoir has dropped steadily since then.

The source of additional oil was analyzed as migrating through faults from deeper and older formations below of probable Jurassic and Early Cretaceous age. The oil contains biomarkers closely related to other very old oils and was long trapped in deep formations. Eugene Island block 330 oil field

There have been claims of other oil fields refilling but the evidence of such is skimpy at best, just as are all claims of abiogenic oil. Forget about refilling oil reservoirs. Forget about abiogenic oil. It is a waste of time even to engage the fringe element with discussion on these subjects.
