[A Longer Name]

There is some Iraq conspirological moonbattery in this article but let's ignore this for the moment. I am extremely skeptical about the abiotic oil theory, but, apparently, this theory was dominant in the USSR and Russian geologists who were using it had had a considerable success in finding oil in supposedly barren regions.

False. There are no commercial operation of oil production that do not contain biotic markers.

• Biological origin is central to Peak Oil theory

  Not at all. Using up the cheap oil is central to Peak Cheap Oil.
