So much for Hubbert's Peak. In 1956, geologist M. King Hubbert famously predicted, in a presentation to the American Petroleum Institute, that oil production in the U.S. would peak no later than 1970.

Hubbert’s fame in peak oil circles comes primarily from the assertion that he accurately predicted the 1970 U.S. peak. Because of this prediction, Hubbert is widely-regarded among peak oil ...

A Shell geophysicist named M. King Hubbert reached mythological status for accurately predicting the 1970 U.S. oil production peak. But most people don't know the full story behind this prediction.

All right, the headline might be a tad hasty. Nevertheless, geologist M. King Hubbert famously (and so far) correctly predicted in 1956 that U.S. domestic oil production in the lower 48 states ...

Hubbert's peak theory predicts the rise, peak, and decline of fossil fuel production. With revolutions in new technology, it will be longer than originally predicted before oil reserves run out.

Peak Oil and Limits of the Hubbert Model By The Oil Drum - Jan 18, 2011, 8:40 AM CST. The Hubbert model says that, within a reasonably large region, oil production should follow a bell shaped curve.

To understand all this, you have to understand peak oil - few really do. In the early days of oil in 1956, a Shell geophysicist named Marion Hubbert developed a math model of oil production.

As it turns out, Hubbert’s theory that the United State’s oil production would peak in 1970 proved itself to be true. That year, the country produced 9.64 million barrels of crude oil and fell ...

Professor Deffeyes talked about his book [Beyond Oil: The View from Hubbert's Peak], published by Hill and Wang. In 2001, he was among the first to warn of the upcoming oil crisis using techniques ...

Fracked natural gas has much different dynamics and will peak much later than oil, (around 2040 by Hubbert and other means) and is a much superior transportation fuel than refined oil. The Pickens ...

Of special importance to investors is the Hubbert curve’s prediction about when the peak of resource production is likely to occur. When investing in a new project, such as an oil well ...

Until about 2005, it did indeed appear that the globe was edging ever closer to a peak in daily oil output, as Hubbert’s followers had long predicted. (He died in 1989.) ...
