There are several methods of estimating oil reserves. Some estimates are based on proven reserves; that is oil that is being tapped. Then there's discovered oil plus undiscovered or "yet to find" reserves based on probability which is much higher. And then there are estimates based producing fields and new discovers. The three types of estimates can be significantly different.watchingfromafar, your figures are way off.

The World’s Largest Oil Reserves By Country
Proven oil reserves are those that have a reasonable certainty of being recoverable under existing economic and political conditions, with existing technology.
10. United States - 39,230 million barrels
9. Libya - 48,363 million barrels
8. Russia - 80,000 million barrels
7. United Arab Emirates - 97,800 million barrels
6. Kuwait - 101,500 million barrels
5. Iraq - 142,503 million barrels
4. Iran - 158,400 million barrels
3. Canada - 169,709 million barrels
2. Saudi Arabia - 266,455 million barrels
1. Venezuela - 300,878 million barrels
The World’s Largest Oil Reserves By Country
the above adds up to---- 1,304,838 million barrels
The total worldwide oil consumption was 93 million barrels per day (bbl/day) on average in 2015 according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
List of countries by oil consumption - Wikipedia
93 million a day X 356 days = 33,945 a year
1304838/33945 = 38 years

Top 20 country figures are:
I'm pretty sure Russia has claimed arctic circle holdings back, and several countries who are not stepping forward have plenty. Some say there are vast quantities east of the Cascades and not enough is known about the Dakotas except prelims I've heard of say there's lots.

I did not point that out, and you didn't answer my question.as you pointed out, there is no alternativeSo you believe those are sustainable?

I'll be 48 in 38 yearsI couldn’t care less.
I’ll be dead in 38 years, so it doesn’t affect me.
I did answer your question, you did not like the answer, and you did say that. I asked you a direct question that you could not answer, because the answer again, was not what you liked.I did not point that out, and you didn't answer my question.
So the answer to what should be a yes-no question is "there is no alternative". Well that makes a lot of sense!I did answer your question, you did not like the answer, and you did say that. I asked you a direct question that you could not answer, because the answer again, was not what you liked.I did not point that out, and you didn't answer my question.
What is more sustainable? You said you do now know? That means there is nothing more sustainable than Coal, Oil, and Nuclear power. You state we will need to switch? Switch to what, it seems you think there is something to switch to. So there is either nothing to switch to or there is something?It's just an educated guess on my part that we are using fossil fuels much faster than the earth is replacing them. At some time in the future humans will need to switch to a more sustainable form of energy or revert to a much more primitive form of living. I doubt it will happen during my lifespan. I will consider myself lucky to still be alive another 30 years.

You don't seem to have a clue what I was talking about.What is more sustainable? You said you do now know? That means there is nothing more sustainable than Coal, Oil, and Nuclear power.

fair enough, I thought you were being evasive with your answer. I doubt we will find some new form of energy. It seems our understanding of things is as such, that we have discovered everything in regards to forms of energy.You don't seem to have a clue what I was talking about.What is more sustainable? You said you do now know? That means there is nothing more sustainable than Coal, Oil, and Nuclear power. You state we will need to switch? Switch to what, it seems you think there is something to switch to.

At some time in the future humans will need to switch to a more sustainable form of energy or revert to a much more primitive form of living. I doubt it will happen during my lifespan. I will consider myself lucky to still be alive another 30 years.
My premise is that fossil fuel will not last forever. Not that we have to switch to something else right now. I do not believe the supply of fossil fuel in the Earth is infinite or that it is being replenished naturally at the rate we are using it.
Thus, some time in the future, whether that be in 50 years or 5000 years, either different sources of energy must be found or a more primitive form of living must be adopted, assuming the human race survives at current or greater populations. So to me, a sustainable source of energy is one that will not run out.
You brought up nuclear energy, perhaps that could be one of the alternative sources. Still, fissionable material is a limited resource.
Today, the technology we have would look like magic to someone who lived just a couple of hundred years ago. So the fact that I currently don't know what would be a sustainable alternative energy source does not mean that none will ever be developed.
His chart is in thousands of millions, (Venezuela 300,786 million) and yours is in billions (300.9 billion). Convert your figure to millions and it's nearly the same.You missed the forest for the trees, doll. look at his chart's "millions" and my chart's "billions" once more. Danke.

Sad is your opinion. Yes, some oil fields have dried up. I am sure you could, if you put work into your posts, link to articles that appear to reinforce your opinion.What you are not mentioning is the decline in current oil fields. As new oil fields are found old ones dry up. Now put that into your predictions
The Midway-Sunset oilfield continues to be extremely productive today. According to a 2013 report by the state Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources, the Midway-Sunset is the largest producing oil field in California. Estimates from the report show the field produced 28.8 million barrels of oil last year.
