By 2022, there will be about
a hundred years of time when oil is still enough for human beings.

According to the current ratio of oil reserves and production, the earth's oil can be extracted for another 50 years
.
However, because of the continuous discovery of new oil fields, coupled with the rise of shale oil in recent years, according to the data, the current discovery of shale oil reserves of 11 trillion to 13 trillion tons, far more than the reserves of oil, so the oil on the earth can be mined for at least another 100 years, and it will not be exhausted in the short term
.

peculiarity

According to the way oil was formed, oil is a thoroughly non-renewable resource, because the days when trees dominate the earth will never happen again, and the corpses of trees can no longer be accumulated for millions of years and never be damaged
.

Although this number seems to be huge, if they are divided among the countries of the world, in fact, each country can not share much, even the Middle East, known as the "world's oil bank", its oil reserves are declining year by year, and the supply is in short supply
.
In addition, the human demand for oil will only increase
.
This number has caused humanity to start worrying, and once the oil is depleted, humanity will be in trouble
