Peter - Peak Oil and the Abiogenic deep origin of petroleum are effectively competing scientific hypotheses.
There is no doubt that Big Oil has systematically and deliberately lied about the extent of oil reserves and the technological capabilty and cost of extracting said reserves.
It's also nearly impossible to assess objectively the Abiogenic deep origin of petroleum hypothesis because of the geology and science involved, which is - as you say - largely Russian in origin and contemptuously ignored in the West.
However, if Kutcherov is correct, and BP "hit" - perhaps more accurately ruptured - a deep Abiogenic "migration channel", then Gaia knows what's going to happen.
If Kutcherov is correct, then the consequences could be cataclysmic.
A War on Terra indeed.
