Gill in this case is correct and so is Tucker
The production of oil under peak oil can be increased for a time but will cause a sharper drop off in production as the reserves are used up faster then otherwise would have been
Hubbert peak theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reserves and production rates are generally fairly interconnected, but through secondary and tert recovery methods the production rate can be increased, while draining reservers quicker. Meaning instead of a bell shaped curve for production rates, it will be skewed towards with a sharp drop off as rates will eventually decrease drastically rather then gradually
Perhaps we are saying the same thing afterall.
So, would anyone disagree with the point that we passed peak oil in this country in 70/71?
