Fossil or Abiotic the fact is conventional oil fields all over the World have been in serious decline, including the US which peaked ~1976. Shale oil which is Fossil oil has filled the gap, but those fields deplete rapidly. There possibly will be adequate total oil reserves for a while but they will shift to a few places like Venezuela, Russia and the Middle East. That spells trouble, as we are seeing right now with Russian oil, hegemony of resources.

Fortunately nuclear can replace all fossil easily and EVERY NATION on Earth has ample uranium & thorium resources under their feet to power their total energy needs for millions of years. No more energy hegemony. Poor Kissinger and gang who said "to control the energy supply is to control the nation". That's why the Malthusian gang of Davos Psychos despise Nuclear power with a passion. Nuclear = No Hegemonies = National Sovereignty.
