So, when the oil vintage 2,000,000 BC runs out we will have to wait for 2019 dead organisms to reach oil maturity in the year 2,002,019? Because there was no vintage 1,999,999? Interesting theory ya got there, Bob.
Just looked at one study that if you assume we are half way through discovering all of earths sedimentary basins that produce oil, and calculate it against the time it took to form (250e6 years), then the Earths annual oil production per year through history is averaged at 80,000 barrels/yr.
So there’s your finite number. You need any more - google it.
Consider we consume over 90M barrels/yr.
Sure - you can adjust the “half way through” down ward, which would increase the annual production, but considering we’re reducing biodiversity, id suggest we’re actually lowering the earths oil production capacity.

This was the assumption since the 50s that = no oil by 2000. All of the assumptions were wrong. All of the studies were wrong. But your study is right? Sure.
That's why Paul Ehrlich got his arse handed to him by Julian Simon.
Google it.
