The oil deposits can probably never be pumped dry as if they were gas tanks. It might be that if oil production is stopped for a few [million] years that many of the fields would regenerate to a degree. So, in the long term, which probably is something greater than the expected lifetime of civilization, oil would be available to the next sentient lifeform to dominate the planet.
