Något om Peak Oil
"The problem is with those “reserves”. Today’s reserves are just not the same as those earlier reserves. All the good cheap stuff has already been sucked up. We are now left with dregs at the bottom of the barrel. All today’s new oil is harder to find, depletes a whole lot faster, and costs many times as much to produce. None of the cheap stuff is left except in a few old super giant fields that are undergoing infill drilling like there is no tomorrow.
Once again, we are at peak oil right now. The peak will straddle the 2014 and 2015 time line. 2016 will be the first full post peak calendar year. It really doesn’t matter how many barrels of oil are left in the ground. The point is we will never again pull it out of the ground at the same rate we are pulling it out right now."
