EB: Responses to the NY Times article on peak oil

On March 5, the New York Times broke their near silence on peak oil by publishing an article by energy correspondent Jad Mouawad, entitled Oil Innovations Pump New Life Into Old Wells. (Also posted at EB and Mobjectivist.)


We’ve collected here a number of responses to the article from members of the peak oil community, and have reprinted them here.
For readers who don’t want to go into the technical details, Jeffrey J. Brown, an independent petroleum geologist gives a quick summary of our response:


Can we find more oil? Yes.
Can we increase the recovery factor? Yes.
Can we increase our nonconventional oil production? Yes.
Will it make a material difference? In my opinion, No.
