The truth is we are not running out of oil anytime soon, humanity is capable of the ingenuity it will take to safely get it

No, not near crustal plates, these are basins where heavy concentrations of algae died and settled to the ocean floor, Sediments and "landslides" such as are released in the oceans by earthquakes and other factors cover that and heat takes over.
As for Fracing (no K in fracture so the oil and gas industry doesn't spell it like people trying to make it sound like a 4 letter word, and as for the use of a hard C just think of the Boston Celtics), it is not for "squeezing the last drops out". All rock is naturally fractured, at depth those cracks are reduced in size. By using fluids, hence the word hydraulic, under the pressure of both a column of fluid- called head- and sometimes mechanical means the cracks are moved open so that sand or other proppants can be transported into the opened cracks and they remain propped open about the width of a grain of sand. This allows space for oil and gas to flow more freely to the wellbore where it is extracted. As for "deadly chemicals," someone needs to warn Ben and Jerry's because we use thickeners like food grade guar and xanthum gum to keep the sand in suspension. All the fluids used flow back to the surface and are reused.
In investment circles they use terms like resource, reserve and known proven reserves. Known proven reserves are areas producing and are estimated based on current technology for 25 years. The same terminology applies to resources like lithium, cobalt, etc. In the oilfield technology typically outdates in 2-5 years. We are always making improvements and even getting more efficient in refining, which when you look at it, we are incredibly efficient already. 1/10th of percent here, 1/10th there all adds up.

Yeah, I might having heard what this 'fracturatinging' thing is prior to me mentioning it.

It's still basically squeezing out what oil had not been pumped out previously through traditional wells, is it not? The leftovers? Squeezing the remnants left in the sponge? Is that how I put it? It was an analogy, not a literal sponge that someone was literally squeezing with their literal hand.

Where have oil fields been located, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, or where tectonic plates collide, as well as where crust has been stretching apart (New Madrid Zone, anyone?)?

Whatever. Guess we better go back to caves, the future is sooooo bleak.

You're telling someone who made his living drilling 15,000 feet for oil and gas that it's not 50 feet down? How arrogant. There is coal 5,000 feet below the surface, I've drilled through it, there is coal 10,000 feet below the surface, I've drilled it. I know more about real geology than you'll ever know. I've been in coal mines where you see fallen palm trees in the coal, complete with impressions of leaves. As a rule of thumb it takes 25 feet of organic matter to become 1 foot of coal. We know of coal seams that are over 400 feet thick.
You have no idea how critical diagenesis is to the process. With enough heat and pressure, organic materials are being reduced to oil and gas in less than 10,000 years. You must think all the scientists who are involved in oil and gas were educated in public schools.
I have to wonder, how is it you know so much propaganda so well, and so few facts. The most effective lies always have a grain of truth.

As a rule of thumb it takes 25 feet of organic matter to become 1 foot of coal. We know of coal seams that are over 400 feet thick.

So would there be a way to artificially do that to dead and dying trees? I know about artificial diamonds and those takes way more pressure to create.

Yes it has been done. Right now it's not as economically viable as mining, but in 400-500 yrs, if we can't find more coal, it will be entirely feasible. We will find a lot more coal though.

I know it's hard to understand, but there are landslides all the time in the oceans. The earth is far from static.

You mean the water isn't solid?

Good to know that there's silt flow into the middle of the Pacific.
Now we are all we got to do is wait for that stuff to pack really good, transform into slate 15,000 ft deep, wait 250 million years, wait for it to crack as it collides into some next door continent, let the oil start seeping upwards, and that baby's ready for the drilling!

Unless, of course, oil actually is not fermented plant juice, but rather a natural occurring form of carbon, in which case it might be a heckuva lot more plentiful than fossil deposits. But even if that was the case you'd still have to find it, I while I'm sure there might be those once-in-a-half-century finds off the coast of Brazil or something, well, you do the math.

- oh, wait. You already did. Professionally.

But in the meantime, as we watch the race to see which gets depleted first, oil or the Ogallala Aquifer, the Cannibal Riots of 2065 are still on.

Heck, thanks to Trump that baby might have been accelerated by a decade or three while we make oil cheap enough to use to flush toilets instead of water, so grab your hats everybody......... and your favorite raw meat condiments, it's going to be a doozy,,,

People, I swear.

So is the sun. Can't win.

wasn’t arguing just speaking

Me too.
