There are fertilizers without oil production, it’s just not scaleable in comparison and fell out of favor due to other stuff.
But organic products without these kinds of fertilizers exist.
I don’t think they use these two particular things, but different countries have different Standards.
If you want to go that route, they also use tractors or other machinery using oil in some capacity.

Then you get into herbicides and pesticides, both of which are majority oil. Even organic products use propane to control weeds.

Which two particular things? Organic farms use propane because they have to burn the weeds, they can’t do it any other way.
There are other ways, in general.
What other ways?
Propane isn’t the problem, at least here in germany. I used burning weeds only for some irrelevant cosmetic weed control.
But preparing the soil was done with a small 2cycles mortiser.
