Is it possible to just pump a slurry of corn and various pulp products into dead oil wells?

Nope. You need to understand that an oil reservoir is 100% rock, but a rock that is porous on the microlevel. Stuff that gets pumped down needs to be a proper fluid, not just a slurry, or it will just clog the pores in half an hour.
