I just want to point out that we have two limited reservoirs.

The capacity of the oil reservoirs around the globe and the capacity of our atmosphere to store the CO2 produced with it. It’s known for some years now, that the second capacity is reached earlier twisting the question from „how much can we get“ to „how much can we burn without ruining the climate“.

The estimates are that we need to let a lot of the obtainable oil to stay buried.
