Science Magazine Special on the Oil Crisis – 1974

A marvellous article of historical interest to Peak Oilers.. [It appears in the book] The World of Oil, written by an A.F. Fox, Head of the Geological and Geophysical Division of the Kuwait Oil Company.

What caught my eye was the projected peak of crude Oil production (Fig 64). Although Mr. Fox cites Hubbert’s many contributions throughout his textbook, he seems unaware of Hubbert’s predictions with respect to peaking-so this appears to be an independent assessment. He makes a best guess of a peak of some 26 Gb/y around the year 2000. Not bad!
