The rumor I heard on the radio was that they hit a highly pressurized abiotic oil pocket several thousand feet under the ocean floor and that "no human technology" can close it up.

Well, other than a side-shaft nuclear explosion that, according to this source, if mishandled, would permanently crack the pocket causing an indefinite problem.

I wonder if there is any way to prove/disprove if this oil is abiotic.

Update:  A couple more things.  First, I've always been rather open to abiotic oil theory because it just seems unlikely to me that so much plant/animal matter made it several miles under the earth practically EVERYWHERE. 

Second, now that I'm looking around the webs, there are quite a few (not necessarily reputable) people talking about this and claiming that, if it IS abiotic, it could last FOREVER!!!!11
