May not change the price, but would have a very strong effect on the politics of conservation and ecology if the main understanding of oil changes from a finite unrenewable resource to a nearly infinite resource.

Not to mention playing havoc with evolutionary and geologic theories about the earth.

I think the politics of conservation has already accounted for it and changed from "We're running out of oil" to "CO2 emmissions will destroy the planet".

Abiotic oil production is only relevant if production rates of new oil are significant relative to consumption rates
