– is the planet making more oil?

580 views

We know that oil is formed from prehistoric plants being converted to oil under pressure in the earth’s crust. Is this process still happening, but we’re not able to access new sources due to using current resources too quickly, or is there only a finite amount and we’re going to run out entirely one day?

Technically yes, but it all comes from a period millions of years ago when the planet was covered in mega fauna. If we were to wait another million years we wouldn’t have oil created from the life that currently lives on Earth.
