In the early years the oil was not replaced by anything.
This often caused land and seabottoms to sink, even several meters.
These days one pump in seawater in order to get more oil and gas out of a drillhole/oilwell.

What happens to crude oil once it has been brought to the earth's surface?
Crude oil must be processed and stored. The processing in needed to remove gas and water that may be present. In some fields, there may be sour gas, that must be processed (amine units are common) to remove the hydrogen sulfide. Sand may be present, particularly in heavy oil deposits, which requires special processing. The processing is called separation. A separator is a large cylinder where oil, water and gas can settle and be removed. Crude oil may go through several separators, in order to have an acceptable crude for the refinery. The crude oil typically will go to storage tanks, and from there be shipped by pipeline or tanker to the refinery, where it will undergo fractional distillation on a very large scale to separate it into usable materials.
