Since '70s we are hearing that Oil source is to be depleted to next 20 years...... each 10 years, new dead line is defined.
Petrol is everywhere, but is remarcable how many ways people can try to get it from its deposits. Petrol isn't like well but its within the rocks. There are case whe natural pression put Oil out, but many cases, companies pump Gas, Air or Water into the rocks forcing petrol goes out.
Now, in USA, they are cooking rocks to get oil, into an expensive method but affordable based on actual price.
Answer your question is tricky, almost answer how long our planet will give food to entire population.... Always they will discover new technologies, new ways to get it.
Last invention if change coil into Petrol using somekind of new technique with pressure and teperature. I do not know how to explain.
... and so on.
Oil prices are only global manipulation from international companies to keep money flowing and keep some ecnomies warmt despite global crisis.

It won't finish any time soon, but it will become more and more scarce, and as it becomes more scarce, extracting it will become more costly over the years, which will create a number of complications, such as:
*the demand for more technology (which is both good and bad)
*more land degradation
*more pollution
*higher gas prices (yes, they'll rise more)
which is why different alternatives are important.
