I believe I read the quote from either http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ or Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond. If our oil ratio of energy put in was 1 unit to 1 unit extracted then oil processing facilites would only have enough fuel/energy to keep them running and nothing to fuel our cars, planes or ships.

Right now the oil that is in concentrated pockets mixed with water or in porous rock is easy to extract and process. Yet oil mixed in sand is obviously harder to separate taking more energy (and more money) making it more expensive. As I said we are not going to run out oil, it will just become harder to extract as easy sources such as the Gulf are depleted causing prices to sky rocket over time.
