Funny your advice to start thinking by oursevlves.


Why didn't you think the answer to your own question by yourself, then?

Yes, the oil underground acts as a lubricant for the crust, allowing it to move more freely over the outer mantle. When all this oil is removed, friction will increase, the mantle and crust won't move freely, and this, in turn, will affect the rotation of the Earth. Ultimately this affects the orbit around the Sun, and we will move into another stable orbit, either closer to the Sun, or further out, (not sure which). This will cause considerable climate change, with disastrous consequences.





Just kidding, No it won't affect the spin of the Earth, because the total mass of the Earth doesn't change, Also, the mass of the oil is negligible compared to the weight of the Earth, so its movement from one place to another will not have any impact.
Earth gravitation depends on its mass. When you drain reserves on earth, you are doing nothing else but moving them from here to there or, at the very least, transforming it into another kind of energy, which is equivalent. But the resulting mass is still the same.


Earth, in that sense, is a closed system.


Besides that, oil reserves are meaningless. Their total mass is insignificant in relation to Sun鈥檚 or Earth's total mass.
Not enough to make a difference. Besides, the oil still resides somewhere on earth in one form or another.........
As Mr. Garrison from South Park said ';There are no such things as stupid questions.... just stupid people';. I think this falls into that category.
