Here we go. Looks like the first country to have had both PO and PG is the UK, aka England.

the data source is bp world energy outlook 2006.

first, oil production data 1994-2005, tbd.

2675 2749 2735 2702 2807 2909 2667 2476 2463 2257 2028 1808

now, gas production, bcm/y

64.6 70.8 84.2 85.9 90.2 99.1 108.4 105.9 103.6 102.9 96.0 88.0


does it look like PO and PG already struck??

Ok, but now comes the scary part.

Oil consumption, tbd, the same timeframe.
1777 1757 1798 1752 1741 1721 1697 1697 1693 1717 1764 1790

pay attention to the last number. If the tendency held, then UK became last year, a petroleum importing country and ceased to be a petroleum exporting country.

Now gas consumption, bcm, the same timeframe

66.1 70.5 82.1 84.5 87.9 92.5 96.9 96.4 95.1 95.3 97.0 94.6

two last numbers say it. Two years ago PeakGas led UK to cease to be a gas exporter and instead to become a gas importer.

Interesting, which consequences this will have on a country with no strong export capacities, no world reserve currency, even no euro?? Of course the consequences are not yet visible. Trade balance goes big minus now, and the debt should grow next time as well.

What do ya think, will England now volunteer even more for different US activities like freeing oil fields from evil muslims?

Does that mean that every other country in the world hasn’t peaked in more than one of oil or gas? I thought we were one of the few remaining industrialised countries to still be a net exporter of energy up till late.

[Gridlock]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ':') I did not check on countries with miniscule production though

Norways peak is somewhat political. Large areas are not opened for exploration by request from the socialists in the coalition government. Despite huge pressure from oil companies and their puppet masters the rate of exploring seems to be designed to keep the industry and production stable for as long as possible.
I guess the same might be true for some other oil producing contries on the "peaked" list.

Btw., the 1200km gas pipeline "Langeled" from Norway to UK opened 1. October, and will account for ca. 20% of gas consumption in UK.

[coyote]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('sch_peakoiler', 'U')S is another case. No use to discuss, even that US has not peaked on gas yet:)

[sch_peakoiler]

I think yes. That is, one should look for a decline like in UK or Italy. By the way, both those countries show the same percentage of decline, allthough very different absolute numbers. UK around 90 bcm and Italy around 13 bcm.
Gas production is rather fluctuating in its nature. What we see in US might be a plateau of the peak though. But here again, examples of UK and Italy show that Gas has no plateau. So I would even say US even has some spare capacity in gas production, it is not at peak yet.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') suppose this is the part where the UK warms up to the idea of nuclear power.
