I hope this doesn't betray my pitiful knowlege of the oil production process, but I too have wondered about what is happening where all the oil was drilled from. Are there great, gaping subterranean caverns that were once filled with oil? What would that do to the planet's structure?
Is it all going to collapse in upon itself someday? Probably making an idiot of myself here, but usually you need to replace something to stop a gap.
Thats really wierd you should ask about the space left behind after the oil is sucked up, because I was discussing that very same thing with a friend only two days ago!!! and the answer is.......................................
Don't know

AFAIK the void is usually filled with water. Sometimes naturally, sometimes by the oil company.

Thanks Brian . . but, oil is a different viscosity from water . . .?
I suppose those "experts" must know what they are doing?
