Christophe De Margerie de Total – Problèmes futurs de la production de pétrole
Carnevale Films – PetroApocalypse Now? Film Trailer
Is the oil beginning to run out? Shot over 4 years in 13 countries this film uncovers the myths surrounding the future of world oil supplies. Filmmaker, Andrew Evans lifts the lid on the so called Peak Oil theory, whether oil production is about to fall. He travels to the Middle East to find out how much oil they really have, exposing evidence that they may be exaggerating by up to 50%.

Matt Savinar is interviewed by Jim Puplava, (peak oil) – part 4
Audio clip (2004)
Predicts that debt can not longer grow or be served when oil production falters. Savinar is a bright analyst, and proves it here.

T Boone Pickens says Peak Oil is already here – 85 million barrels per day
Around the 5:30 mark he says it:
“See, there’s 85 million barrels [of oil production] a day in the world, and that is–I believe is Peak Oil. You have capped at 85 million. You can’t get any more than that out of the system.”
“Will we go back to four dollars [per gallon of gas]? Of course you’ll go back to four dollars.”
Granted, T Boone Pickens is heavily invested in the natural gas industry, and so he has a reason to criticize the competing product–oil.

Dr. Marion King Hubbert
Famously developed what is how known as Hubberts Peak
o Marion King Hubbert (October 5, 1903 October 11, 1989) was a geoscientist who worked at the Shell research lab in Houston, Texas. He made several important contributions to geology, geophysics, and petroleum geology, most notably the Hubbert curve and Hubbert peak theory (a basic component of Peak oil), with important political ramifications. He was often referred to as “M. King Hubbert” or “King Hubbert”.

EROEI
o In physics, energy economics and ecological energetics, EROEI (Energy Returned on Energy Invested), ERoEI, EROI (Energy Return On Investment) or less frequently, eMergy, is the ratio of the amount of usable energy acquired from a particular energy resource to the amount of energy expended to obtain that energy resource.
o When the EROEI of a resource is equal to or lower than 1, that energy source becomes an “energy sink”, and can no longer be used as a primary source of energy.

No “Peak Oil”–More Oil Found in Arctic
Article: http://www.dailytech.com/Geologists+Find+90+Billion+New+Barrels+of+Oil+in+Arctic/article12481.htm
Race to claim begins
The Arctic may hold far more oil than previously thought; as much as 90 billion undiscovered barrels according to a new study released today by the US Geological Survey. The new amount, equivalent to nearly 20 years of US foreign oil imports, is worth over $11 trillion dollars at current oil prices . One third of the amount may lie in Alaska alone, according to the study’s authors.
The region also holds nearly 1,700 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, 27% of known world gas reserves. Counting known deposits already surveyed, total oil and gas deposits in the Arctic are more than 410 billion barrels.
The study, known as CARA — Circum-Arctic Resource Appraisal — included only those deposits that could be tapped with current technology. Future advances would likely boost the number further. Researchers in Denmark, Greenland, Canada, and Norway contributed data to the study.
According to project chief, Donald Gautier, “The extensive Arctic continental shelves may constitute the geographically largest unexplored prospective area for petroleum remaining on Earth.”
A geopolitical scramble for the resources is beginning. Russia has taken steps to secure rights to the region, last year sending a nuclear-powered ship to map a possible undersea connection between Siberia and the North Pole. This would allow the nation a rationale to circumvent the UN 200-mile limit of offshore resource claims.
Seven other nations have claims for the area, including Norway, Sweden, Canada, and the U.S. Earlier this month, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the nation intends to “defend” its sovereignty in the Arctic, backing up the statement with a plan to divert 8 military patrol ships to the region, along with a new deep-water port.

ASPO.TV News – Acknowledging the Reality of Peak Oil
The reality of oil depletion is undeniable. Volumes of publicly available data, collected over many decades, demonstrate that the world may have reached the point of maximum oil production. Despite the clarity of the facts and data, leaders in government, industry, and business are reluctant to articulate and address the enormous challenges that a declining oil supply will have on the world economy – and the urgent steps that should be taken to mitigate shortages of our most valuable energy source. This video features industry veterans Sadad al-Husseini, Jeremy Gilbert, Jeremy Leggett, and Chris Skrebowski, who discuss why governments and business are reluctant to face up to the realities of peak oil.
