For "new" paper, oil would be used in making paper:
As most paper mills use waste wood and bark for steam production, the use of oil for heating, pulp digestion and calendering operations wold be minimized.
Creating new paper from post consumer paper would still require material transportation from the collection site to the mill and product transportation from the mill to market. Oil or other fossil fuel would be required for plant energy needs.
As a consequence the oil needs for the two alternatives might be close to equivalent.
