Despite this there is increasing discussion of peak oil and the possibility that the future may see a reduced supply of oil.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Petroleum
Petroleum (from Greek petra – rock and elaion – oil or Latin oleum – oil) or crude oil is a thick, dark brown or greenish liquid.
Petroleum (burning water) was known in Japan in the 7th century, whilst in Europe the gas springs of the north of Italy led to the adoption in 1226 by the municipality of Salsomaggiore of a salamander surrounded by flames as its emblem.
As early as 1804, Humboldt expressed the opinion that petroleum was producen by distillation from deep-seated strata, and Karl Reichenbach in 1834, suggested that it was derived from the action of heat on the turpentine of pine-trees, whilst Brunet, in 1838, adumbrated a similar theory of origin on the ground of certain laboratory experiments.

While total consumption has increased [21], the western economies are less reliant on oil than they were twenty-five years ago, due to substantial growths in productivity.
