[for-q-clinton]

I know the earth keeps making more oil. After wells run dry they often start working again when left alone.

[crusty old prospector]

I hope you’ll let me know when you find more of those magic wells that just start producing again. Barring a recompletion, workover, or some form of enhanced recovery like a water flood, when a well is dead, it is dead. Either too little pressure or too much salt water.
