I've read a few articles on the abiotic theory as well, they haven't come close to substantiating that claim. I can't address what happens on other planets, but every gallon of oil produced here on earth so far is KNOWN to have come from the decay of organic matter as Stones pointed out.
Besides, if Oil was "grown" as the abiotic theorists suggest why are we bothering drilling in all these remote and nasty places? Why not just sit back and wait for all the old holes to refill themselves?
Simply put, even if we buy into the "oil is grown" nonsense than we are still consuming it exponentially faster than it is being produced so it becomes a moot point. Sooner or later we will run out of cheap, readily available oil.
