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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Recently when I was reading some of the papers M. King Hubbert wrote, one thing struck me was the context in which he made his forecast regarding how world oil supply would peak and decline.

Hubbert's peak oil prediction was 100% correct: US conventional onshore oil production peaked *exactly* when he thought it would. Then producers moved on to more expensive oil production.

In The Oracle of Oil, Mason Inman examines the history of “peak oil” and the planet’s ever-diminishing resources through the story of M. King Hubbert, the geologist who first realized oil ...

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 ...

Visionary geologist M. King Hubbert met both ridicule and praise for investigating the reality of “peak oil” and the ever-shrinking supply of traditional energy sources. It’s a complex tale ...

According to the analysis done in the '50s by geophysicist King Hubbert, peak oil was supposed to be happening about now, when production of oil would reach its maximum rate and then start its ...

The peak was 2005 right on the nose, just as Deffeyes pegged it in his 2005 book Beyond Oil and in his 2001 book Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage. According to the Amazon review : ...

Deffeyes bases his book on the work of M. King Hubbert, who mathematically determined that the world's oil supply would peak in 2000 and then drop steadily thereafter.
