We still have some decades of oil reserves yet, much of which is in the form of shale oil. We continue improving shale oil recovery techniques so that some of the reserves once considered unrecoverable may now be claimed.
As for coal, we have several centuries of supply of it, at current consumption rates. The wisdom of liberating all the carbon trapped in coal into our atmosphere in the form of CO2 is, however, highly questionable.

Thar Desert in Pakistan has the 7th largest coal reserves in the world, Coal is a valuable mineral specially amid the steeply rising energy costs in the world, however the modern scientific breakthroughs has evolved new technologies to process coal in a more efficient, clean & environment friendly way. The largely untapped Thar Coal reserves has for years been red taped in Pakistan by the powerful Oil lobbies who bribe their way in Politics & bureaucracy to keep the valuable coal reserves at bay. South African Oil & chemicals giant company Sasol has the technology to extract Oil & chemicals from Coal but its feasibility is only viable if the intl oil prices remain above US$40/barrel. In the last decade the oil prices have remained well above this threshold therefore justifying prompt action / investment in Thar Coal reserves which can turn around Pakistans & even the regions dire energy & economic crisis.
