As our ability and tech improves, we continually find new oil/natural gas reserves we hadn't considered. My gut tells me Canada is sitting on huge reserves they don't even know about.

Think about this. Carbohydrate + time = hydrocarbons. there has been carbohydrate for billions of years. It only takes a few dozen thousand to a hundred thousand years to make oil. So I'm thinking as our tech improves, we will continue to find abundances of oil reserves everywhere. They will just become more difficult to access.

Didn't we just find more pyramids under the sands of some persian gulf region that have yet to be cleared and explored? how did we find them? newly developed tech is how we found them.

the same will be true for oil. we will continue to find oil reserves we had not previously known about. With time, I suspect we will realize oil is everywhere.

so the real question is, how do we get off the oil?
