Peak conventional oil discovery was some time ago because of this fact. Peak tight - shale oil is around the corner. There may be more large offshore deposits waiting to be found but basically modern life as we know it will cease sometime in the middle or late 21st century. There will no doubt be huge resource wars breaking out, massive oil shocks and much death and mayhem. On the bright side, after its gone, its gone and humanity won't have to worry about that problem again for a long time. The world needs a good cleansing and depopulation anyway. It could be lack of fresh water, a plague or big famine but fossil fuel depletion will certainly be lurking until it happens.
