“The Future of Oil: Will it Ever Run Out? Experts Weigh in on the Remaining Reserves and Consumption Estimates”

Discover how oil is formed and its current availability. Although oil will never be fully exhausted, only a portion is accessible in hard-to-reach areas. Technologies like fracking and horizontal drilling can increase reserves. Climate changes also affect availability.

Estimates suggest known reserves may last for about 50 years, but emerging technologies and decreased demand due to electric vehicles may extend this timeframe significantly. Stay informed about oil consumption and its future.
