You don’t take into account new oil field discoveries,

Well OK. The biggest oil field ever found in N America was Prudhoe Bay. That was over 50 years ago. Have we found another one. To grow at the rate we have been on, for the next 50 years we will need 7 more Prudhoe Bays. Where are they?

Wolfcamp oil field in Texas dwarfs Prudoe Bay discovered in 2016 with over 20 billion barrels.

Also fracking technology allows the recovery of oil from old fields that was previously unrecoverable.

The report above shows that in the last 5 years Texas oil reserves have risen by 51% and New Mexico’s by 134%

I don’t think oil is going to be a problem any time soon.
