That's actually where I first heard of this theory, many years ago. I was shocked, at the time, to hear it.
I no longer believe there is any shortage "crisis" in the near future. There's lots of oil, the biggest problems are the politics and mechanics of drilling it, not any shortage of supply.
Though I don't completely disbelieve abiogenic theory... I don't believe that most of the oil fields we have today were create in that manner.
I also don't believe you are going to find vast amounts of oil. Look at Gold's experiment in Sweden. What a success that was... $60 million spent on two oil wells and for what? 80 barrels of oil that probably came from the oil used to lubricate the drill.
I am not saying that we should complete disclaim this theory... there maybe some truths in it... but I am not gonna sit back and say "Yay!!! unlimited oil and methane!!!".
