  2. Predicting the timing of peak oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicting_the_timing_of...

    Thus oil production did not peak in 1995, and has climbed to more than double the rate initially projected. Early predictions in 2000s. In 2001, Kenneth S. Deffeyes, professor emeritus of geology at Princeton University, used Hubbert’s theory to predict that world oil production would peak about 2005, with a possible range of 2003 to 2006. He ...

  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 ...

  4. Peak oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil

    Hubbert's upper-bound prediction for US crude oil production (1956) in red, and actual lower 48 U.S. states production through to 2014 in green. Peak oil is the theorized point in time when the maximum rate of global oil production will occur, after which oil production will begin an irreversible decline.

  5. Uncharted Territory: A Modern Peak Oil Theory - AOL

    Marion King Hubbert accurately predicted a peak in U.S. oil production in 1956, in the first widely published peak oil theory. Since then, people have been predicting when demand would exceed supply

  6. Hubbert curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubbert_curve

    Hubbert curve. The Hubbert curve is an approximation of the production rate of a resource over time. It is a symmetric logistic distribution curve, [1] often confused with the "normal" gaussian function. It first appeared in "Nuclear Energy and the Fossil Fuels," geologist M. King Hubbert 's 1956 presentation to the American Petroleum Institute ...

  7. Oil depletion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_depletion

    Oil depletion is the decline in oil production of a well, oil field, or geographic area. [1] The Hubbert peak theory makes predictions of production rates based on prior discovery rates and anticipated production rates. Hubbert curves predict that the production curves of non-renewing resources approximate a bell curve.

  8. Reserves-to-production ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserves-to-production_ratio

    The reserves-to-production ratio ( RPR or R/P) is the remaining amount of a non-renewable resource, expressed in time. While applicable to all natural resources, the RPR is most commonly applied to fossil fuels, particularly petroleum and natural gas. The reserve portion ( numerator) of the ratio is the amount of a resource known to exist in an ...

  9. Hirsch report - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirsch_report

    The Hirsch report, the commonly referred to name for the report Peaking of World Oil Production: Impacts, Mitigation, and Risk Management, was created by request for the US Department of Energy and published in February 2005. [1] Some information was updated in 2007. [2] It examined the time frame for the occurrence of peak oil, the necessary ...
