with all the latest reports about Mexico, the Gulf, SA etc
one now has to wonder again whether we are facing a cliff any time soon or ever or whether it will be a slope, and then of what gradient?

Do you ever wonder things to yourself, KevO?

I mean, there has to be easily 20 threads involving this subject.

Here's some I found in a microsecond....

EDIT Oh yeah, and any thread with Olduvai in it will provide a plateau - slope - cliff discussion within....I think people just like to see their names in the "poster" column....and I vote for you as Redundant Overposter of the Year 2007 if there's another contest...

come on already jeeves....

Actually we will see both cliff and a slope. For those that do not know, it is all in the math. This will happen. The only debate is when.

KevO must be a limey teenager if he has no knowledge of Basil Hayden...hey that's another thing you can find by searching before you post a thread on it!

I think many people have this false notion that a 3% decline rate is small.

If you start with oil production at 85mbpd and set a decline rate of 3%, you will get a production rate of 73mbpd in 5 years and 63mbpd in 10 years.

Is that slope or cliff?

That is 3%.
If you use 2%, 77mbpd in 5 years and 69mbpd in 10 years.
Even just using 1%, you get 81mbpd in 5 years and 77mbpd in 10 years.

It does not really matter what the decline rates will be once we are in past PO. The only thing that matters is if we can get more energy production from other sources or new oil fields to compensate. If not, then we will just have to use less and how we get power down is up to the elites of the world to decide.

Slope followed by a cliff ala Bakhtiari

[Pablo2079]

Once we're well down the otherside, we'll all agree that it was a cliff.
