The minimum amount of oil left is about 40 years, if we continue to use and increase the amount of oil we use year on year. However, we could be looking at 100 years if new wells are found and oil usage remains at current levels...Unlikely!

I would imagine in those 100 theoretic years an alternative source will have been found so it wont be an issue, but who knows!
