3. Hubbert peak theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubbert_peak_theory

   The Hubbert peak theory says that for any given geographical area, from an individual oil-producing region to the planet as a whole, the rate of petroleum production tends to follow a bell-shaped curve. It is one of the primary theories on peak oil. Choosing a particular curve determines a point of maximum production based on discovery rates ...
