Is it possible that draining oil from the earth may hamper life in the future?

This is just a wild theory i had and I base this on absolutely nothing. Just looking for thoughts and opinions.

But I figure the organisms and life that are produced on this planet must come from somewhere. maybe it's the oil under the ground?

After all, what is crude but a memory of the life of the past. a remnant of living material that the planet might need to produce more?

what if draining this oil will mess up some balance and prevent new life from being created?

Update:

Another theory is that since oil is naturally flammable, it could be fueling the core of the planet?

    You have very confused ideas

    read some simple science books about biology

    coal and oil are the remains of living things that grew and died and were buried millions of years ago

    that is why they are called fossil fuel

    things grow from the non living material, like water, carbon dioxide and minerals by using the energy of sun light

    that energy is stored in chemicals like the wood, or coal. when we burn material it goes back to water and carbon dioxide
