I doubt that info, . . .the thing is somethings in life go far beyond man's scope & follow no defined theory--- THE WORK OF GOD !!

If he has the audacity to forsee '43yrs', he should as well answer these questions. . . .
What was the initial quantity of crude oil??

How did the crude oil get there??

Is he sure there is no 'untapped' crude oil again??

hmmm!

The figures the guy gave are estimates, and they represent the best estimates from his knowledge and experience.

They are certainly better estimates than any of us here can provide, that's for sure.

There's a reason Nigeria needs these figures; we have to have a rough idea when our oil will finish. if we keep producing happily, we m ight be caught unawares when we run out.

I'm sorry, but the answer "Only God knows" is unnaceptable. I sometimes think God must despair of us when we refuse to use the brains He gave us and start turning everything over to Him.

PS: I think the whole scientific world is in consensus about how the oil got there in the first place.
