We're constantly running out; but every fes years, we figure out a new way to extract more oil/make do with the addresses we currently have.

It's a supply and demand situation. We run out of things not only when they are physically exhausted, but also when it's not economically viable to find ways to make more. But when demand increases enough, it will eventually become economically viable again.
