This is a stereotypical repetitive thread but here's the answers.
Shell production is what limits wars. Oil makes them happen faster. It doesn't change who wins.
Russia never actually produced oil. It's oil is fake and isn't used. Russia imported from Iran and America and it never had useful oil. Baku was already declining when the war happened and Russians fuel consumption was only about one oil tanker equivalent a month and came from a few pipelines to Iran plus American tankers.
The oil production at the time was so small that whaling or any other minor sources would have decided the issue and even the Nazis technically had enough oil. America produced 3mbpd. If 10% is real and 10% of that was needed by Germany then even Germany domestic production at the end of the war covered most of their needs.
Most oil is condensate or tar. Ghawar is all the real oil and in the past Bradford field, the Ohio and East Texas fields were the main sources as well as Iran. Until 1980s Iran was producing light oil and afterward tar. In WW2 Germany did have some real oil production and romania did also.
It really did not matter what happened to Baku as it wasn't a real source. Obviously if oil was necessary and it was in Baku it would matter. In reality not only is shell supply the issue but also america was supplying Russia with oil and Germany would just lose faster if it had more ability to expend shells.
