sorry i have no idea but i bet if they come up with something better than oil like electric or steam or solar power or a combination then the oil will last forever !

In my petroleum geology classes, the projected average is about 80 -100 years. I have heard conservative numbers of 60-70 as well.

120 years or so at current consumption rates. It is curiours to know that most of the oil we use was discovered in the last 10 years.
