1) Oil wells do not refill. If oil is being created all the time abiotically, we have never found it in fields that were emptied. Look up Plug and Abandon. Oil services companies have entire departments devoted to capping oil wells that were drained to empty. It does happen and it is the norm. And after 100+ years you can rest assured a few caps were opened to see if any oil reappeared. With the exception of 2 wells out of literally thousands capped around the world, no oil ever reappeared, and it was found that those 2 did not refill. They drained some oil from adjacent rock next to other wells not yet empty.
2) No, going deeper doesn’t find more oil. Oil are hydrocarbon chains of considerable length. Compared to methane which is CH4. The deeper you go, the hotter it is. As heat becomes extreme, those long chains break down to CH4. You don’t find more oil deeper. You find less.
3) When an oil field is going empty, it does not maintain production rate right up to the day of zero. So this AI stuff in this article used 102 million barrels/day as global production and that was the denominator divided into a reserves estimate. Then it said 47 yrs. That’s not how it works. When reserves get lower and lower and lower, pressure in those fields reduces and presto, so does production rate. We may demand 102 million bpd, but that doesn’t mean it gets delivered. Output from dying fields doesn’t maintain a number right up to day of zero. It declines.
4) Which means you don’t have to go empty to have societal destruction. You only have to have decline in available oil. Which is inevitable.
