Subject: dose depleating the oil from under the surface eventualy cause friction?

Dose depleting the oil from under the surface of the earth eventually cause 
friction on the tectonic plates? Is the oil under the earths surface there to 
keep the tectonic plates running smooth and if we keep using the oil could this 
lead to friction within the slipping plates and eventually lead to increased 
earthquake and tsunami activity? Oil may play a large part in the mechanical 
workings of our planet.
