We're obviously using oil way quicker than it can be renewed, but that whole idea that we'd be swimming in oil is bullshit.
Obviously the process can only happen under very specific conditions. It's not the continental shelf sweating it out.
Think about a hot spring. You can pump out the smelly sulfurous water, make a pool or drink of it or whatever, and it will come back and rather quickly. But not all water everywhere is smelly sulfur hot spring water.
And fwiw, places like Saudi Arabia were practically swimming in oil, with pools of it found on the surface
