The Oil Drum: Four US Linearizations

I’d like to begin an investigation into how much error we might expect to make by extrapolating Hubbert linearizations forward (for background on the method, try this post). It’s going to take several posts, I think; there’s a bit of work to do, and I’m not sure quite what schedule I’ll be able to accomplish on it. Anyway, let’s start gently with a look into the situation with the US, which is a popular target for linearization, because it’s one of the most mature regions (though perhaps Romania is the best of all). Many more charts and stuff in this one too.
Much more after the jump to The Oil Drum.
